Here's what the author had to say about the onion:

It used to be The Onion was the only satire news site. And the site makes it very clear its news is satire. But within the last year, multiple sites (there is a list compiled here) have sprung up that do not make it clear they are satire, if at all. They brazenly post fake news that isn’t even funny, like The Onion, but sounds like legitimate news.

Don’t let him see this post, and don’t say anything about the “Onion,” and everything should be fine.

The onion is realer than most people will admit. They put up a “news from the future” bit where the presidential candidate was promising to kill everyone.

Then Duterte came along. it was prescient.

But the Duffelblog is hilarious !
