ONION RINGS
For years, “The Onion” has presented hilarious new takes on the week’s news, usually putting its punch line in its headline. This week featured an article entitled “Anna Nicole Smith Finally Reaches Target Weight.” As usual, the head line is succinct,witty and undeniably cruel. Now The Onion joins the growing industry of televised fake news with their internet-based “Onion News Network.” In their publicity plug, The Onion explains how they have “set the standard for globe-encompassing 24-hour television news since it was founded in December, 1892. The network boasts channels in 171 languages and can be viewed in 4.2 billion households in 811 countries.”
