    5.0 out of 5 stars 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"!

    I should not have ordered this (but I did unknowingly). It is terrible: filthy language that belongs in the gutter. G-d forbid that my grandchildren should see this. I certainly won't order another copy! I don't know what sort of person would stoop so low as to read this kind of gutter stuff.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Midwestern Man Seeks Relevant News Stories, Finds The Onion
    Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2014
    Verified Purchase
    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!

    I was hoping for more than cynical crude language for humor. Some of it was funny but it left me wanting to brush my teeth.

    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 similar to the biting satire of Private Eye but frequently misses the mark, instead being rather juvenile.

    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 .
