Al Jazeera Buys The Onion

Ok, not really, but I'm starting to wonder

Politics • November 2012 • Views: 2,528

I’ve never seen the Onion make a joke at the expense of the Palestinians. However, almost daily there are joke articles that are poorly constructed, not funny, and a very thinly veiled attempt at political commentary. Face it, we all know that The Onion favors certain political views over others. It seems to me that they are in full support of firing missiles from Gaza into Israel at innocent people.

I was pissed about that.

One of my coworkers thought it was pretty damn funny.

It is funny.

It's The Onion- tacky and irreverence rule.

The Onion is mostly lame. Once in a while they will have something funny, but most of the time they are surpassed by real life news.

You're kidding, right?

Understanding and appreciating irony and satire are becoming rare skills.

Pity.

Hmmm, just did a quick perusal of Google, using the words "the onion" and also either "israel" or "palestine". There are jokes about Palestinians. Now, on a slightly closer look (no, I didn't feel like going through all of them), maybe there's noticeably more about the Israelis, but, still, it's not entirely one-sided.
