With headlines such as ” murderer walks free after judge dosnt show up for 15 minutes” to their infamous in america” ‘no way to prevent this’ said only nation where this regularly happens”, it’s easy to see why people come for the satirical and cynical nature of the onion, but not much is said about the surprisingly well written, and in sometimes deadly accurate representation of our nature, of the articles themselves.
Even with fake quotes, edited pictures, and sometimes morbid or weird ideas, their articles are great for tricking gullible and naive readers.
