No humor.
Only anger and hate.

The Onion used to be funny .... a long, long time ago.
Like there's a rumor that Jimmy Kimmel was funny when he was doing the Man Show with Adam Carolla, a genuinely funny guy.
But those days are long gone.

No, they're just too one-sided and too predictable.
Just another leftist propaganda piece.
