Can you go into more detail? I had largely written off the Onion as I thought it had become try-hard partisan political satire (I'm fairly sure that's mostly consensus?). Even when I agreed with the premise, I thought it was pretty terrible.

Has it gone away from that?

		It just seemed to be the general mood about. I'd see a link somewhere online to the Onion and it'd always be be commented as such. I haven't been a regular reader of the Onion for something like 15 years probably. That's why I stopped and those comments are why I never went back. The parent comment I replied to is the first indication of any change I've seen since.

		A few of their peers casually said so, likely. Who has time to do a market survey to determine what they should read?

Our family has been debating this, but we lean on it having improved, too. We wondered if having to fill the print layout again helps.
