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, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Kimmel had a pretty good roast of it but it’s already such a sad satire of itself it was barely necessary

Big issue with the state of politics, comedians are basically relegated to just reading the news because it's already a satire.

And that's on a good day, when they aren't trying to figure out how to even be humorous around the horrific things they need to talk about.

Yeah, can't really joke about executions in the street.
