Dude I feel like The Onion is coming back into its own again
It’s the new ownership.
TIL. From Wikipedia:
On April 8, 2019, private equity firm Great Hill Partners acquired Gizmodo Media Group—including The Onion, The A.V. Club, and Clickhole—from Univision for an undisclosed amount.[148] The properties were formed into a new company named G/O Media Inc.[149][150] In March 2024, G/O sold The A.V. Club to Paste Magazine and was reported to be seeking buyers for The Onion.[151]
On April 25, 2024, CEO Jim Spanfeller told employees that G/O had sold The Onion to Chicago firm Global Tetrahedron, which is owned by Twilio founder Jeff Lawson, with former NBC reporter Ben Collins serving as CEO.[152] As a condition of the deal, the new owners will retain the website’s staff and keep it based in Chicago.[153] The name “Global Tetrahedron” is taken from a “fictional evil megacorporation” that has been the subject of a running gag in The Onion articles.[154]
“My friends and I now own and run The Onion. I’ll be the CEO,” Collins posted on X. “We’re keeping the entire staff, bringing back The Onion News Network, and shar[ing] the wealth with staff. Basically, we’re going to let them do whatever they want. Get excited.”
Neat.
The new owner used to be in charge of the misinformation best at his old news room. Now he makes fake news.
The best outcome. Honestly, if we could convince other misinformation reporters to turn to comedy the world would be a better place.
Wow, they were owned by Gizmodo for that time period?
Fucking no wonder the quality went down.
Private equity
Really puts the previous ownership to shame. Who were these people??
Typical private equity vampires
They had by far the best debate coverage
They are slapping really hard this year and I love it. They had to though, reality has officially become stranger than fiction.
At press time, sources confirmed prominent members of the party had been instructed to quickly shift their support to a spry, cogent 31-year-old Joe Biden, who had somehow de-aged 50 years overnight.
Look here, Jack!
Holy shit, he was hot!
But was he hung like hunter?
It runs in the family.
And against desegregation of schools.
Can you back this up?
This is what I found, but I don’t trust CNN much these days (I don’t trust Fox News either, for the record):
