The Onion Followers and statistics on 6 networks

The Onion is an American satirical media outlet that publishes made-up news stories written in the style of a traditional newspaper. Its trademark is a deadpan, straight-faced delivery, applying the conventions of serious journalism to absurd, exaggerated or biting takes on politics, society, sports and everyday life. The outlet calls itself America's finest news source, a tongue-in-cheek claim that is itself part of the joke.

On social networks it shares short parody headlines, satirical articles, comedy sketches and videos in English, aimed mainly at an American audience. It also offers a printed paper through a membership and runs a newsletter for readers who want the humor delivered regularly. Its work has made it one of the best-known names in parody journalism in the United States.
