Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, ableist, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Its not not the onion.

I for one welcome my new info lords. Hopefully god keeps telling the new host what time it is in the everlasting war to fight the 2% of globalist oligarchs who are against police states and the republican party.

The article itself is satirical, but it's reporting on a real event


that The Onion has just reached an agreement to buy InfoWars. It's maybe marginal for the community, but this is basically the only time that one gets to have a single article on both The Onion and Not The Onion


the initial attempt some time back, which fell through, made it to both


so I couldn't resist.

EDIT: For good measure, link to NPR's coverage.

Jones implored his audience to help support his fight by acting fast and buying up what he said may be Infowars' last run of new merch.

Alex Jones grifting to the bitter end.

Truly a Schrodinger's Onion article.

@tal it will likely be more factual under The Onion than it ever was before.
