I am deeply saddened to read of the demise of The Onion; but, since I read it on the interwebs, it must be true.

:-(

This would be the perfect time to take The Onion to “mainstream” news reporting. It would be a seamless transition.

As Hunter S. Thompson once said: “When the going gets weird, the weird turn Pro”. Washington, D.C. today is Alice’s Wonderland, where up is down and black is white and the Red Queen Pelosi is off with her head.

Hey, The Onion could always start publishing some REAL news, since no one in the MSM seems to be doing it.

NBC could save itself by coming out with a new game/quiz program:

Who said it?

Sometimes truth is more unbelievable than fiction.

Top draw, public: Who needs satire when you got

Obama Jivethon's Lying Circus' hilarious wild comic parody of an American administration!

"Makes Monty Python's Flying Circus look positively dour," say entertainment insiders.

The Onion jumped the shark years ago. Then the shark surfaced for a minute, and she turned out to be Nancy Pelosi.

LOL! Rush Limbaugh has complained of this very situation too. Good article!

Excellent. I’ve been reflecting on the same thing lately. The irony is, your post should be meta-satire, but it isn’t.

Great satire/lol. . .still available here; thanks to Lazamataz.

(You do have to pinch yourself. . .even Clinton - the WACO President - making subtle but sadistic exhortations for the need to 'make nice' - raising the 'tempest in a teapot' to 'red alert' warning levels.)

Of course, we know, he IS for real. . .

Good one, Laz! Some of the talent here on FR should start their own “Onion-style” news site. Some of the funniest stuff I’ve read is in the FR comment section.

Bankruptcy has been filed as of Thursday, April 15

Well, the satirical article wasn't written on the first April fool's day, but it was written on April 15th, the real day when everybody is taken for a fool.

Very good, sort of a satire within a satire. Good work.

For his sake, at least one of their leading columnists is no longer around to have witnessed their demise (William Satire)...
