Make em Laugh... ONN does it Better than Them All

The Onion TV is the s**t. I was really skeptical, but this kind of video is too good to deny...
In The Know: Our Troops In Iraq


As this article essentially asks, why should we even think they couldn't pull it off?
Having already blossomed as a newspaper, Web site and book publisher, The Onion — perhaps the most dominant provider of fake news anywhere — is bringing its brand of humor to the hot medium of the moment: Online video.

The dispatches on the Onion News Network, which goes live Tuesday, aren't likely to be causing much missed sleep over at CNN and Fox News Channel, unless those outlets start covering fake news stories like Civil War re-enactors being dispatched to
Iraq.

But on the Web, The Onion will be going up against several others who have already established themselves in comedy video, including Comedy Central's "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart."
By the way, The Sound of Young America has a great podcast of the Senior Editor of The Onion, Scott Dikkers. Listen, learn and support the show as best you can!
