they can’t make things up that’s more ridiculous than what’s going on so the only thing they have left is just funny framing. this headline is literally true, it’s just the wording that gives away that it’s not from another news source
Several satirists, including Stephen Colbert, and John Stewart, and John Oliver have all commented that they are very tired of hearing the whole “the Republicans are in power, so your job must be much easier!”

I don’t envy the Onion writers in this day and age.

It must be extremely difficult to be more absurd than the actual news.
They should just report completely boring news as if Kamala Harris had won.
“Corporations Run Everything”
Works in either timeline!
Start up a mirror site, literally name it noinO ehT, for news from an alternate universe. Have each site refer to the other as surrealist satire.
But they’d have to invent stories!
They’re hiring editors just to pare the number of stories to a manageable level.
