Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

I really hate that this isn't an Onion headline.

It basically is. Wonkette is a satire site just like The Onion. OP (likely accidentally) broke Rule 2.

Not exactly. Wonkette is more like Stephen Colbert, using factual news as the basis for mockery and derision aimed at the right. This article, for example, accurately quotes Trump on the horrifying "poisoning the blood" rhetoric, and then rips into him for it.
