Wishes do come true!
The Onion takes over, amount of factual content actually goes up
I would like a job when this happens
Gotta go full Steven Colbert Report with it.
The Onion CEO Ben Collins:
>“A lot of institutions and people gave up on doing the right thing over the last two years. Despite an insane amount of threats and bullshit, we persevered. Eight years, almost to the day, after the Sandy Hook parents first filed suit against Alex Jones, they’ll finally get some justice, and even some money. You will get a new home for funny things on the internet, a tote bag with a good logo on it and a great newspaper made by human beings in your real-life mailbox.”
And Tim Heidecker of (Tim and Eric fame) is the creative director. This is exactly what the world needs right at this very minute.
Gonna be hard to tell the difference.
Are they hiring?
I thought they already tried to do this?
God bless the onion
Shit like Infowars and Fox News is how Trump happened. People calling real news “fake news” while spewing lies non stop. It’s basically propaganda.
Individuals should have freedom of speech. That shouldn’t extend to organizations knowingly lying for personal gain
Just hire Erik from comment etiquette
Be careful, right-wingers have had a hard time recognizing parody.
How many old listeners would tune back in and have no idea it’s a parody. They’d 100% believe everything that’s written.
Somehow, this is going to double-negative its way back to being the journalistic integrity that we lack in all major news sources in the US today.
It would be funny if it’s all similar old InfoWars content with an Onion twist
Dont think the parody will be nearly as funny as the real infowars with alex jones
But what happens to their troll reporters?
Also give this like a good few months before conservatives realized anything changed
The seal should require any proceeds go directly to his victims.
It would be ages before the readers realized it’s now satire.
Again? Didn’t they announce this a few months back then the deal was blocked for whatever reason?
#WHAT’S YOUR BRIGHT SPOT TODAY, BUDDY?
