Does Satire promote Critical Thinking?

read a post on facebook on how with the Trump coming into office that news networks have been struggling to maintain their "both sides of the story, only the facts" rules, while satirical news/entertainment has been mining gold for the past month.

something like that, lost the video I saw on Facebook. The point they mentioned was Satire engages the part of your brain responsible for detecting bulllshit.

Is that right?
