Not The Onion

Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Lamar filled the stage with performers, but none of them seemed to be white. While most may not even have noticed, some particularly upset users took to X to express their frustration.

"There's no diversity in the half time show. DEI only goes one direction and this horrible halftime show perfectly represents why DEI needs to die," a user wrote.

Why are we still printing articles that quote nothing but tweets as if it’s real reporting on real human opinions instead of a psyop bot farm?

In the event you didn't know what to think, here's a large group of possibly real people who have maybe computer-generated opinions, that you can actually agree with, right now!

Look at how many there are, truly this is an accurate representation of your countrymen, and you... disagree with them? What's it like being on the outside, looking in, nerd?

Thankfully, media literacy is at an all time low. So we can just keep pumping out these open-source articles that masquerade as journalism. Now your relatives and coworkers can sound intelligent and well-informed when they come to talk, even though they may have only read the headline!

For real. We need to ban these articles based on opinions from social media. They're pretty much never representative of a real person's opinion, and they're mostly impossible to verify if they've been said by a person.

We WOULD ban them, but the person in charge of banning things is rich, and the media is owned by the rich, so we're just gonna go ahead and keep doing this.

We could ban them here. We're in charge here.
