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.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content 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!

Isn’t Fox News sort of the Onion, though?

Yeah, except their viewers think it's real.

Yea, I'm not sure why they are allowed to use News in their name but then claim to be entertainment. How is that not misleading?

They help the oligarchs who would be the lens to enforce that

I have bad news about the contents of Grape Nuts.

They think most onion articles are real too.

I miss the days when fake news was mostly about the exploits of Bat Boy.
