The Onion Has Become America's Finest Marxist News Source
- VLM 13y ago13 companies control basically all media, therefore only certain viewpoints are acceptable. Which of the 13 owns the onion, they need to know they've got a rogue operative.
- ypcx 13y agoI wish I could upvote you. You wouldn't believe but people are paid to downvote for non-conformity around here. I guess someone out there believes it may threaten the status quo.

- csandreasen 13y agoIs this article supposed to be some sort of meta-satire? "Satire newspaper revealed to be front for promoting socialist uprising" I'm so confused now...
- xntrk 13y agoMaybe it was a news story they picked up from the Onion. :)
- actsasbuffoon 13y agoOr perhaps The Onion takes shots at everyone and people are just more likely to notice the stuff that offends them? Drew Carrey told a story about how he got hate mail from people after his sitcom had a punch line involving Polish people. He also received a lot of angry letters about a joke involving mental health. The first group was very offended about the Polish joke and was incredulous that his show was allowed on the air. The second group was also highly offended and similarly baffled by his success. The interesting part is that the first group never complained about off-color jokes about mental health, and the second didn't seem to notice the Polish jokes. Each group only noticed the stuff that touched on their personal biases and ignored the rest.
