4salt, I know what The Onion is. The only problem is that too many people take them seriously. A little bit like this forum also. It does make for good entertainment at times. You can lump those who follow Glen Beck, The Daily Show, or listen to Matthews/Olberman into the same category. There's nothing newsworthy from any of those outlets.

Beck is a douche, at least JS can be funny at times. Matthews/Olberman fit into the same bag as Beck.
