for a satire news site they hit the nail on the head
Holy fuck
Something I learned in my brief experience with a journalism class is that The Onion is a prime example of truly successful satire.
All the times they “hit the nail on the head”, they are in fact achieving satire’s ultimate goal. To examine something free of bias, in a way that people are less likely to be sensitive toward a harsh reality.
Under the frame of a joke. Don’t discredit the work of the people behind The Onion just because they make you laugh. They know what they’re doing. And what they’re doing is important. They’re forcing people to rethink the way our system works without wasting the energy on big explanations, and it’s working.
good points about the onion, but uh. this is a fucking click hole article. notably distinct from the onion. you are talking about how great the onion is for hitting the nail on the head, in relation to this article;
on an article made by a completely different, but also satirical news network.
