There is a bit of good news in Ben Collins’ purchase of The Onion and his decision to run the website: he will no longer be claiming to be a “journalist.”
His work has always been a form of unintentional satire, although it was never funny. And, unfortunately, The Onion hasn’t been funny for years, so he is a perfect fit for the job of CEO.
NEWS: My friends and I now own and run The Onion. I’ll be the CEO.
We’re keeping the entire staff, bringing back The Onion News Network, and share the wealth with staff.
Basically, we’re going to let them do whatever they want. Get excited.https://t.co/CQtWzFHn4A

I used to love The Onion, but as with so many things that lean Left, it lost its sense of humor and basic connection to reality in the past decade or so. It used to poke fun at both the Left and the Right, and it could make you guffaw…
