TheOnion should buy Infowars.com and start posting real news.
And they did The Onion Buys Infowars
Mad Lads! Amazing!!
how tf…?
Info about wars only?
With attitude and public shaming!
Reminds me of /r/animetitties from the Reddit days.
not as good as it used to be, still the best news sub on that shit site.
what was the story with that?
I don’t recall exactly but this is the gist that I remember from a /r/subredditdrama post I read over a year ago
“Real news” sub reddits let porn, nsfw content, onlyfans and whatnot on them because they were not actively or thoroughly moderated. Some users were upset,To emphasize their point started posting nsfw anime pictures.
Someone decided they had enough and broke off into their own sub reddit that has actual news and it was called /r/animetitties or something.
ah okay thanks for explaining. sounds like it might have also been similar to the r/trees and r/marijuanaenthusiasts thing.
Don’t forget the classic r/Superbowl. Greatest sub reddit scoop in the history of Reddit.
I think trees was just weed users got there first
Welcome to 2016.
. . . Wait
Harambe was keeping us from the brink of annihilation
Bowie.
And Prince. Two god aliens that kept reality sane.
He was this timeline’s Anchor Being. Now we’re doomed.
There was a chance to not go this way!
I saw a recent article that’d be great for their first

They should have a section “not the onion”
While I like this I fear it’s too costly. Good journalism is pricey. And good comedy is pricey. I don’t know how well those two fields overlap. But I know I’ve seen good combos with Jon Stewart and Jon Oliver. So it’s for sure a possibility. I’d pay the onion for real news tbh.
Maybe it can only done by Jon’s.
Both have a place and they both as important as the other
Even in the current form it’s more substantial than the fox news.
Astronaut, gun, Astronaut
Most “real” news outlets too.
They really could start publishing real news stories and no one would know the difference
They could call it the nonion
“This is nonion your business!”
There should be a game that lets people guess if a news story is an Onion article or not.
They kinda did, but it was an accident.
They did have a look at the major news outlets and the daily show a while back so.
Since people are saying that reality is becoming ridiculous, there should be a newspaper that says believable fake things like “people are treating climate change seriously” or “everyone is wearing masks and quarantining after covid-19 pandemic”
We really do live in the shittiest timeline if “normal” news seems so fake now
If they did, and no one could tell the difference.
The onion is a whore in DNC stable just like Babylon bee is a zionist who’re pandering to “conservatives”
Why are peasants givng second chances to regime whores?
Is this RFK with his whole brain worms thing
I haven’t noticed that, can you think of any examples that demonstrate your point?
Check their headlines prior to election, let me know what you think
