Not true.
I crap on about satire so much on here I'm even boring myself. Satire is criticism under the veil of ridicule. How witty or humorous that attempted ridicule actually is varies enormously, and obviously is subjective. So for example, all those Charlie Hebdo cartoons were satirical, but witty? Funny? Not in my opinion, well maybe a few of them, but mainly not at all.

I'm lumping, perhaps incorrectly, that ridicule into wit.
Wit doesn't have to be witty and funny doesn't have to be 'ha ha'.
