Not The Onion

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:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments 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!

MODERATORS
The article is largely good quality but what even is this:
It doesn't even name the person. Just cherry picked some random quip from social media and pasted it into the body.
Editor: The article is great! All we need now is a quote from social media and we can publish.
Journalist: We haven't been able to find anything suitable, everyone thinks this story is satire.
Editor: Then just post one yourself and then quote that! But don't reference your name, that'll be a dead giveaway.
