The Onion’s fake news is too close to real news

O.K. - Check out this Onion article - Man's Facebook Status Given Book Deal Now check out this article on WSJ - S---mydadsays Lands TV Deal Can someone say "Irony?" Little did the Onion know, they were reporting a "Close to news" story. And it happened in the same week. I heard about this Twitter account a few weeks ago.

The Onion strikes…. Again.

The origins of the Onion newspaper come from my hometown. In fact, I worked with a few of the staffers at other local University newspapers. I did do a couple "Satire" articles for the Onion, but nothing was published. Apparently, the Onion has a great reach - even to those who don't understand. Another article was re-published as actual news.
