Not sure if you scanned it, but check out what the Supreme Court had to say about these types of parodies and articles.
Hustler Magazine v. Falwell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I am quite aware of the issue regarding maliciousness and parodies. But the article did not strike me as a parody and it definitely was not a parody when it accused Snyder of forgery. The forgery claim is an issue of factual correctness.

I am not a fan of Snyder, as my many critical comments on this site show. But I am not willing to be unreasonable. You seem to be driven by irrational, unthinking hatred. Good luck with that.
