Perhaps The Onion should ask - who gets most promotion of this?
Well, we’re all talking about the onion. And I, personally, haven’t read onion content in a long, long while. So this kind of put them back on the radar for me.
But I could be one of only a few people who fell out of onion readership?
More likely is that they believe the next four years will provide them a lot of comedy fodder and they’re setting their pieces early. For them the election is likely to be pretty good for business.
- bmitc 2y agoWhile their stuff is brilliant at times, I don't actively seek it out because it leaves me pretty depressed and anxious. The parodies are almost indistinguishable from real events these days.

- bmitc 2y agoYep, that's my feeling everyday. I would have liked to have seen Patrick Warburton cast in that role, though. For example, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PaghIdSJKvQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PaghIdSJKvQ

- troyvit 2y agoI even felt that way reading The Onion's article about this and then listening to Alex Jones' rant on Xitter. They sounded like they came from the same writer.

The new stuff since the acquisition has been a bit hit or miss, but at least they're trying again.
- TremendousJudge 2y agoThey have posted great news segment videos again
- shitlord 2y agoI miss the autistic reporter. That guy was my favorite.
- jkubicek 2y agoThey also restarted the print newspaper (I'm a subscriber)
- astrange 2y agoSo far I've gotten two of those, and each time I've thought the lead headline on the front page was super clunky. It always tries to fit in a joke by being twice as long as it should be.
