Funny, to me these are the worst type of Onion articles, pandering to people on one side of a political issue. I think it's lazy and predictable.


The onion has always been political commentary. In my opinion, it is some of the most impactful, even to this day. Every time there is a mass shooting, the onion reposts the same article — linked above. All they do is edit the time and place. They also bump every other article they published to the front page.

It's incredible commentary on the fact these things keep happening in completely predictable ways.


This was especially prescient: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjonGtrCyVE


There's no rule of humor that says it must be politically neutral.

If you want balance, feel free to post equally funny satire with a right-wing slant.

Though it might be harder to find anything equivalent, since biting political humor and satire can be politically asymmetric.


Babylon Bee is the one on the other side of the aisle.

(That's a deliberate Christian meta-joke).
