The Onion News Network goes live

Posted by Cory Bergman on March 26, 2007

The Onion just launched its online fake news network. A taste…

Gotta love the ad in the embedded player. No, we don’t get a cut.

Excellent. And a fine example of how knowing your audience can hold someone through an ad.

And look! An ad for alcohol! And the parents groups can’t cry to the FCC.
My name.

Still prefer The Daily Show, though.

I even prefer a different fake newspaper to The Onion: IronicTimes.com. (Click my name.)

As a fan of Tne Onion since 1898, I’m happy to see the Onion News Network has finally gotten online.

I think the fundamental difference between ONN and TDS is that with Jon Stewart everyone’s in on the joke (except for the occasional interviewee) while with ONN the joke is the over-the-top parody of TV news without the studio audience laugh track.

There is already an ONN (Ohio News Network) that broadcasts out of Columbus, Ohio. Do you think they may take issue with this?
