Yes, the Onion is one of the highest authorities on political satire, and is so good at it's humor that it often appears as real news to those who don't regularly follow the Onion's antics. I occasionally read their paper rag, and it's online sibling, but was not aware that they now did video spoofs of CNN and the like with this Onion News Network. The Daily Show has some serious competition! We all enjoy humor poked at our flailing system and "leaders", but considering that the Bush administration's daily dealings have been such an unfortunately true "joke" in our news for years now, the lines between truth, spin and satire and growing thinner every day. Hugs, A :)
