Hillary’s Top Donor Just Bought The Onion — Started Publishing Propaganda Immediately

[Lorien]

When it was revealed in January that satirical news outlet, The Onion, had been purchased by Univision Communications (which is co-owned by one of Hillary Clinton’s biggest fans, top campaign donor, and pro-Israel fanatic, Haim Saban), it was if the world suddenly held its breath to see if the move would be the outlet’s downfall.

Now, it appears we have our answer. On Tuesday, an apparent attempt at satirical understatement in actuality proved to be nothing less than a blatant propagandistic fluff piece touting Clinton’s ostensibly stellar career.

It didn’t work.

“Female Presidential Candidate Who Was United States Senator, Secretary Of State Told To Be More Inspiring,” read The Onion’s not-at-all-opaque headline. And the nauseating attempt at tongue-in-cheek praise didn’t stop there.

5. Wow. Saw that headline on DU days ago and ignored it. Obviously not good at satire now.

It screamed Hillary supporter whining about sexism to me. Looks like I was right then, eh?

14. They're still publishing some pretty vicious stuff about Clinton

I was worried about the sale too, but it's best not to worry too much about a single story while they're still publishing stories like this: http://www.theonion.com/article/clinton-aide-told-leave-behind-weak-volunteer-who--52354

[Duval]

13. Aww, too bad and very sad.

[sharp_stick]

15. Holy Shit

Well done...I think

16. Onion Dead

Are Clintonites gonna flag this comment too? The jury system is being totally abused.

[Cheese Sandwich]

17. Please not the Onion... make it stop

[Flying Squirrel]

20. I guess now we're "throwing it under the bus"

Did it ever occur to Hillary supporters that people and institutions are diving under the bus themselves?

[mhatrw]

18. LOL. Man, that was some funny stuff. LOL

[jillan]

19. That's too bad! They were hilarious.

Going to miss the satire.

[MerryBlooms]

21. It's a shame. :(

[grntuscarora]

22. Rather than push propaganda,

I suspect the Onion's best talent will leave. Creative types don't much care for being ordered to tow a line.
