The Onion News Network: Live from Haiti
May 2nd, 2007 by Ned
I hadn’t realized that The Onion was creating so much video content. This Onion News Network report, Something Happening In Haiti, is well-produced and right on target. The news business has gotten so absurd these days that it’s hard to tell spoof from reality, but this clip does a good job of capturing the “always on/never thinking” nature of 24 hour news coverage.
Between Jon Stewart and The Onion, you have to recognize something is screwy when most of the population prefers a news parody to the news.
Their podcast, “The Onion Radio News”, is worth a subscribe, too.
