Ouch. The Onion: this is effectively just reporting on real events…

This is their section called "American Voices" where the story is a real, actual event that happened but commentated on by satirical representations of Americans.

And it's always those same people

It's not always the same three people shown here, but yeah, they pull from a very small pool of at least six fictional people.

The occupation and names I think are random and usually a joke, too.

It's usually the same people in real life too.
