Why does it feel like the onion keeps pushing a certain agenda?
It used to be funny and didn't feel like it had a political agenda.
This isn't the Onion, and conservatives inventing new bullshit to pretend to be outraged about is incredibly common and hilarious to laugh at. Satire always has a political agenda, even if you're too dense to notice it.
Tbh, this is what fringe right-wing media and s supposed to do. If you attack a real organisation over bullshit reasons, they can sue you for libel. So they make something up. See also: War on Christmas by hbomberguy
