Depressed By Real News – Try The Onion News Network
October 21, 2007 – 5:48 am
I remember watching Ted Turner receive accolades for founding the Cable News Network. Although CNN has been one of the “go to” news outlets for information during nearly every crisis since its debut, it also changed the news business in some negative ways. The most significant impact was changing the news cycle from 24 hours to nearly live. The result is that speed of information delivery has become more important than accuracy and quality. If you find yourself getting disgusted over the quality of local, state and national reporting, I have the solution. Well, it really isn’t a solution, its more of a diversion from the constant barrage of bullshit information.
Take a break from reality by visiting The Onion – America’s Finest News Source. If you like to get your “tongue in cheek” news in printed form, you will find a host of articles that address current news issues. However, if you prefer a Headline News format, skip over to the center column and click on any of the Onion News Network video reports.

Nothing, I mean NOTHING, is sacred on this website. Some people may not see the humor in many of the articles and videos. If you are one of those people that believe the picture of that polar bear adrift on a piece ice in the Al Gore movie is a real picture and we need to take action immediately to save him (the bear – not Al Gore), don’t visit this site. You probably shouldn’t play the videos until after all of your little curtain climbers have been tucked in for evening. The preceding was a disclaimer so don’t write nasty comments if you are offended by anything on this website.
