The Onion's humor is like that drawing of the angry crying guy wearing a laughing face mask. It's only "funny" if you're pissed off about something.
Who isn’t pissed off about something in 2026?

those judgements should be higher too I think this one was high because alex jones harassed parents of murdered children to the point where they had to move out of the town their children were buried in. These people were harassed to the point of being afraid to visit the graves of their children. Sometimes examples need to be set in egregious cases.
Alex Jones did not, as far as the evidence we have seen, harass the parents. Alex Jones did not direct anyone to harass the parents. Some of his viewers used Jones' statements as justification for harassments. Interestingly, as far as I know, nothing was pursued against the people harassing the parents. They went after the rich guy saying lies they didn't like, then depended on the fact no one besides the defense wan…

65,000 print subscribers (on par with the Boston Globe !) and 300% revenue growth last year suggests they're doing okay. https://www.fastcompany.com/91502944/the-onion-most-innovati...
When I worked at an ISP we had a lot of landline phone customers too and I'm sure they will continue to for a long time. At least as long as their current customers keep breathing. You can run a business off inertia/nostalgia for quite a long time. People are confused about what I said. Success and Relevance are not the same thing. National Lampoon still has a business too, but I doubt that any of you have seen a new…
Those 65,000 subscriptions are all people who subscribed since 2024 when it was relaunched.

Do you think there is an acceptable third option between "the globalists winning" and "it is OK for a single media outlet to wage a war on the grieving parents of the victims of a mass murder"?
I thought I could add to it with this dumb joke but I forgot about the fact that Jones still has a sizeable following, and it's sometimes hard to tell if someone is just kidding or an insane lunatic. I'm in the former camp (I hope).

Who cares what exogany says about it when actual juries have ruled on the matter?

It is not clear to me what you are saying or what you are defending/ decrying. Ridiculing Alex Jones and the mindset that has run through a couple of centuries of American cranks is about all there is to do to draw some of the venom out. You make it sound like Alex Jones was simply a victim of being wrong about a fact.
