The Onion

About this Website

The Onion pioneered satirical news long before "fake news" entered our vocabulary. With headlines like "Man Returns to Work After Vacation With Fresh, Reenergized Hatred for Job" and "God Admits He's Never Actually Read the Bible," The Onion skewers politics, culture, and everyday life with razor-sharp wit. What makes The Onion special is its commitment to the format of serious journalism—the articles are written in perfect AP style, with quotes from fictional experts and man-on-the-street interviews, all serving absurdist premises. It's comedy that makes you think, often revealing truths about our world through exaggeration and satire.
