This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
The Onion buys rightwing conspiracy theory site Infowars with plans to make it ‘very funny, very stupid’
They're halfway there already.
Its also exactly the kind of thing you'd expect to read about in the onion.
This is beyond mear irony.
Honestly, I would love for them to turn it into just a bastion of info. Just detail the goings-on of the current government.
How could you tell the difference?
The Onion's first headline needs to be:
"Oh Shit! It's ALL true!"
This should be good...
LoL, AJ lost the Info War. 🤣👍
I look forward to seeing Jean Teasdale as the editor and Jim Anchower cruising again.
Remember Stephen Colbert's satire? Conservatives loved him.
Satire of something already completely outlandish is problematic.
What problem did that cause? It only made everyone else laugh at them harder.
You could accidentally create new conspiracies, that people legitimately believe.
I don't think that ever happened with Colbert, did it?
People's definitely agreed with and used his lines of argument, even though he intended them humorously. I don't know if he put out any conspiracy theories.
I just don't think the people who believed him and used his lines of argument were taken seriously either except by people who were already in their bubble and weren't going to come out.
I'm too tired to make this witty but something about it leading to the MAGA movement being a bubble
What was the "gut" thing again?

it's when there are problems
Do they have rights to use Jones' likeness, in the sense of reposting old clips and the like?
They said they have everything.
