Although objectivity should prevail in the news, sometimes, this principle is violated by different methods or resources to modalize one message. In this work, the ultimate goal is to find out if one of these resources may be the use of verbal humor and, if so, how and why it is used. To this end, it has created a corpus of 248 texts from various media and different ideologies from 2007 until today in order to make it as representative as possible. And, by personal observation and the instrument that facilitates the General Theory of Verbal Humor, we analyzed all that corpus. The result concludes that, although its use is not massive, the verbal humor is used as modalizador element for different purposes, and different linguistic resources used to achieve it.
