The Onion is America's Finest News Source. It is the last bastion of unbiased, reliable, and definitive news in a world dominated by superficiality, mediocrity, and non-Onion news outlets. Founded in 1756, when Friedrich Siegfried Zweibel, an immigrant tuber-farmer from Prussia, shrewdly bartered a sack of yams for a second-hand printing press and named his fledgling newspaper The Mercantile Onion after the only words of English that he knew. Since then, The Onion has expanded into an omnipotent news empire complete with a 24-hour broadcast news division (The Onion News Network) and wildly successful website, TheOnion.com. It is a 10-time Webby Award winner, and ONN is a 2009 recipient of a Peabody Award for its online video broadcasts. Today, The Onion misinforms more than 7 million readers in print and online each month. The Onion will be released on the Kindle every Thursday afternoon (Eastern Time) along with its sister publication, The AV Club, which explores the best and worst of film, television, music, books and games.

Your One Source for Unbiased News Coverage!
The Onion has always been one of my best sources of news.Much better source from news than the main stream media. A great resource for the latest news topics around the globe. Very professional and up to date.Before I start the day I always read what "The Onion" has to say. Much better than the Wall Street Journal which I used to pay for. I wish they had better weather coverage. But other than that no complaints.Keep up the great work "the Onion"!

Midwestern Man Seeks Relevant News Stories, Finds The Onion
If you love your news delivered with biting wit and sarcasm, it's pretty damned hard to beat The Onion. Their faux-articles are unerringly laced with occasionally pointed, biting jokes. No one is safe from their writers! Their articles are so well-written, in fact, and sometimes so subtle that other "legitimate" news sources have at times even quoted them as fact.And THAT is even funnier!

the onion is knee-slapping funny, don't get me wrong, but the kindle edition was not good. I will just browse their site if i'm in need of a near lethal dose of satire.

Love me some Onion
Ever a treat, the droll folk at the Onion know how to return the smile to one's face after a dose of current events have stamped a WTF expression on your countenance..... a personal favorite.

Now, this is the kind of news everybody needs on a Friday afternoon. Always clever, always fun. Give it a try.

funny stuff
The ONION has to be one of the best things on the planet . It can be so funny that a giggle is not enough , though saying that as it is american it can lose me as people can be not understood who are not notable here in europe . Overall it is laughable .

Always sharply fuuny.
Very funny, sharp, often ironic. Readers in UK will be amazed how outspoken it is, in a way not possible there.

Somewhat amusing. The Onion seems to be attempting something ...
Somewhat amusing. The Onion seems to be attempting something similar to the biting satire of Private Eye but frequently misses the mark, instead being rather juvenile.
