On edit: didn't notice until too late the final paragraph, in italics. Looked normal to me, all things considered!

DISINFORMATION: Colombia uses witchcraft to ensure Republican victory

The Colombian government has admitted to using witchcraft to ensure electoral gain for the Republican Party in November's mid-term elections in the United States.

Unaware of the presence of media watchdog Mediamatters.org, the ambassador admitted that being nice to the Democrats was a necessary evil as long as they hold the U.S. Presidency and Congressional majority. "But if you look at it, they've never really done anything for us and we can't wait for them to disappear," Silva was quoted as saying.

"The Republican Party may not be the best option for illegal Colombians in your country, but it's sure as hell the only option for their government in Bogota," the ambassador said.

2. didn't the title give it away??
and regarding the content of the satire, I believe the Obama administration is maintaining strong relations with Colombia too. I believe at least from Colombia's perspective it does not particularly matter which party the US president belongs to
