It's easy, if it is called fake news then it's real, if it's called real news then it's fake. Got it?
This isn't even satire, it's just a harsh opinion piece
Bro is the onion just reporting news now?
Bro the onion is seriously running out of shit to mock with how ridiculous reality is
Somebody on here I think got this right. They're making excuses because dude's already dead.
I would have gone with, “Salvadoran President States Finders Are Keepers, Refuses to Return Wrongly Deported Man.”
The Onion needs to try harder. I remember a time when their headlines were obviously fake. The best they can do now is headlines that are slightly unlikely.
The Onion never misses
Pretty soon the Onion, like the Daily Show, will become america's most trusted news source.
It's scary just how real this sounds. Just goes to show how messed up our current reality is.
