This should be a story in The Onion

Unfortunately, it’s a story in The Intercept. Jon Schwarz (h/t to NashVegasDawg)
Many news outlets covered Univision Communications’ purchase last week of a stake in The Onion, the world’s leading news publication. According to NPR, Univision bought a 40 percent controlling interest in the company, and also acquired the option to buy the remainder of The Onion in the future.
But what’s gotten no attention at all is that Haim Saban, Hillary Clinton’s biggest fan and financial supporter, is Univision’s co-owner, chairman, and CEO. Saban and his wife, Cheryl, are Hillary Clinton’s top financial backers, having given $2,046,600 to support her political campaigns and at least $10 million more to the Clinton Foundation, on whose board Cheryl Saban sits. The Sabans are also generous supporters of the overall Democratic Party infrastructure, donating, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, a total of $16.1 million since 1989 to Democratic and liberal candidates, party committees, leadership PACs, and federally focused 527s.
Saban is a rabid supporter of Israel and a business partner of the Murdochs.

It means that The Onion is going to be run by someone with a fierce ideological bent, Jo. They won’t be satirizing Hillary Clinton any more. Or any of the neo-cons.

hey Phoenix, its DerekJack from Daily Kos. Let’s exchange email addresses. I’ll provide mine when you respond to this post. The BernieBros didn’t let me in their Beta Sigma frat so they banned me.

Meanwhile, Bernie became a congressman by selling out to the NRA:

And among other things (such as backing the F-35 boondoggle), he used his Capitol Hill power to collude with George W. Bush to try and poison a small Texas border town called Sierra Blanca:
