Not a reporter. Satirist. That's The Onion, which is literally a fake-news satire newspaper.Originally Posted by retiredmechanic

Glad you made that clear, I was sure it was trueI was convinced everything the Onion wrote was true, just look at their about page:
"The Onion is the world’s leading news publication, offering highly acclaimed, universally revered coverage of breaking national, international, and local news events. Rising from its humble beginnings as a print newspaper in 1756, The Onion now enjoys a daily readership of 4.3 trillion and has grown into the single most powerful and influential organization in human history."
How can that not be true

And you're not being sarcastic at all. I knew that you knew it was satire, but when retiredmechanic referenced the "reporter" I wasn't so sure about him. I see a lot of people get riled up about obvious satire around here, so it seemed prudent to nip that in the bud.Glad you made that clear, I was sure it was true

You mean everything in the Onion isn't True?
Does that include the things that you really want to believe are true so they get posted as fact on social media so thousands of people will see it but won't read it who then turn around and share it on more internet sites because it's what they want to believe then it eventually becomes a well known fact?

Oh the Onion
#6 has a tough game against the Broncos on the road tonight.
The Onion is one of the funniest publications ever printed! It's not easy to write satire. Headline when George W. Bush was sworn in for his first term - "Our Long National Nightmare of Peace and Prosperity is Finally Over". Irregardless of political persuasion that is funny.
