Business is gonna be tough for the onion. How do you even satirize this reality?

They could become a premier trusted unbiased news source. That would be pretty funny

The judge stopped that for bullshit reasons and since crime is fully legal now anyway there will be zero consequences for Jones.

Hey Grandpa, I did it! I got a job as a reporter at The Onion!

  • When I was your age The Onion was a satirical news source… they’d make up fake stories, like research showing stab wounds on monkeys could suggest stab wounds could be harmful to humans.

You’re kidding me, you mean the Pulitzer Prize winning The Onion? The most respected media source in the world today?

They should start The Lemon where they just do actual news but treat it like it's satire.

You publish articles about Sir Tweets a Lot following the Constitution and upholding the rule of law and raising taxes on the rich.

I reckon that's why they tried to buy Alex Jones' business. It wasn't some sort of statement, they just need the rhino boner pills cash.
