      It’s not a satirical outlet. It’s just lies half the time

      @LittleBorat3 I assume you mean in terms of superficial absurdity, because that there is NO similarity between them.

        Yes it’s such yellow press BS that it’s like the onion.

          @LittleBorat3 You either don’t understand satire, don’t understand propaganda, or don’t understand media in general. I suggest you take a Media Studies course. Many are offered through extension programmes or to audit. I also suggest you consult Media Bias Fact Check regularly, and study the chart that its creator, Ad Fontes, updates regularly.

          Good luck.

        I think maybe it was in journalistic integrity but again, the onion wins.
