    The Onion and its six-member editorial board do not listen to outsiders. Nor do we listen to data, facts, polls, the U.S. government, or the widely panned Geneva Conventions.

      Finally someone said it. I’m tired of the country of Geneva enforcing its conventions on me and how I approach wars.

        The ownership changed in April this year and apparently staff was given more freedom what they can write.

    I guess none of you noticed the editorial board has a signature from Ted Kaczynski, aka Unabomber.

          There’s some fun articles. Although I think they frequently drag on a little too long for a gag given my preference for not reading more than a few paragraphs at a time.

    Lest readers doubt the value of our endorsement, we ask them to remember 2016, when voter complacency almost put Hillary Clinton in the White House before The Onion stepped in. 

    We really dodged a bullet on that one! (/j)

      The Onion wanted to play on hard mode. How do you write satire when that shit head was in the White House?

      You’ve clearly not been following their Israel/Gaza headlines. They’ve absolutely been on fire.
