Here's a classic:

There's just so much really great stuff in this, but personally I just love the little bits of changed language from the newscasters.

I'm confused, have celebs stopped using the internet/social media? is it all just their agents/marketing firm bots doing it now?

do you really think celebrities have ever actually read the thousands of tweets mentioning them every minute

I feel like it's worth mentioning for people who aren't up to date with day to day American politics that that image isn't an onion photoshop and he really did bite her finger

I can't find the article now but the writers for The Onion have specifically said that they regret not mocking Joe Biden earlier. I think that was even before he ran for president this time around, but I can't confirm that.

it was linked last page and in a quote on this page which is why there was discussion about it

the joke is that all the tweets the onion is saying twitter doesn't want you to see are on twitter and you can see them on twitter

the satire is that right wing people love to argue that they're being SILENCED despite having a dozen separate platforms that happily and constantly promote them saying that

it's not a very complex joke and certainly not deep satire but somehow you're taking it at face value instead

i mean if you would be against whatever they posted no matter what they posted that's a different story, just don't performatively misunderstand an article to try to have a weird justification instead of that entirely good justification
