About the Flick

The Flickertail Times is a satire (fake news) website that digs up all things North Dakotan. The Flickertail Times was created in 2017 by its loving leader and founder, Teddy Meadowlark.

Teddy was born and raised in North Dakota and has lived in nearly every corner of the state. Teddy’s true identity remains a mystery to readers. Some have guessed if he is a long-time state employee. Others have imagined him as simply a political insider or journalist. In reality, Teddy simply represents the collective heart and spirit of North Dakota who exposes the hard-hitting truths of North Dakota through good old fashioned satire.
