We're now at the point where you can't really tell the difference between a headline from The Onion vs. one from the mainstream media.

We've been saying this since the second post the onion made.

The staff writers for The Onion are time travelers from the future and they’ve been trying to warn us at every turn of events which lead up to the event that necessitates them to travel back and start writing.

You can’t change my mind about this.

The Daily Mash is not mainstream media. It’s satire just like The Onion.

My reference was to the actual mainstream media vs. The Onion or any other satirical publications like it.

(We are, after all, posting these comments in a community called The Onion.)
