A satirical comedy site provides better balance than most newspapers. That's the universe we're in. We'll be wearing our shoes on our heads before long.
Dear overlords, I think the simulation has a bug: the news world is so backwards The Onion is getting out better information than all of the talk shows and newspaper "experts" put together.
“It’s only October, so I don’t want to make any big predictions now but I really think I’m going to be completely miserable by Christmas and have basically lost my entire will to live come playoff time. Let’s get this fucking thing over with.”—Nikola Jokic 🏀 ⛏️ 😂 #NBA#jokes#TheOnion#NBAMastodon#DenverNuggets#NikolaJokic
"I have been informed that I am being replaced as the Editor in Chief of @eLife for retweeting a @TheOnion piece that calls out indifference to the lives of Palestinian civilians”
Michael Eisen, who is Jewish, also tweeted: "The Onion is not making light of the situation. And nor am I. These articles are using satire to make a deadly serious point about this horrific tragedy.”
Some good news from media land! Satire outlet The Onion is under new management, with one of the owners being Jeff Lawson, co-founder of Twilio, the cloud communications firm with a market value of $11 billion. “The Onion is an institution, a national treasure, and we need it,” says Lawson, the new chairman. “But its success is based on something different than most media companies. The Onion has been stifled, along with most of the internet, by byzantine cookie dialogs, paywalls, bizarro belly fat ads, and clickbait. The Internet sucks, and it’s time we made it better.” The new CEO will be Ben Collins, the reporter who previously covered disinformation, extremism and the internet for NBC. He says that the plan is to work with the union, keep all the writers, and "make it so they can hopefully get paid a little bit more money." Here's more from Deadline.
