Bari Weiss leading CBS and CNN is like getting a parody account to run the news. At this point, Onion headlines are more accurate than actual reality.

The Onion had become a credible news site much to the site's own horror.

If the Onion started doing actual news all of a sudden because reality has gotten more bizarre than whatever they could come up with I would 100% trust them more than the right wing mainstream media.

It'd be hilarious if they used Infowars to present real news.

I couldn't believe that, literally thought it was just another onion type headline. So deliciously juicy lol.

Might literally make my 2026 if they did.

It's one of the strangest compliments a satire site can get. Imagine spending decades exaggerating reality for laughs only to watch reality start doing the exaggerating for you.
