Since when does cnn.com link to the Onion?

I don't know if I'm just expecting too much from news sources, but I think if you're supposed to be a legitimate news website, you shouldn't be linking to fake news stories on the Onion (nothing against the Onion. I love it). Granted, the link does explicitely say "satire", but still...

I've seen PLENTY of Onion stories making fun of Bushy and things like torture and shredding the Constitution. How come I don't see those stories linked to on CNN? Hmmmmmmmm.....

1. I think you've answered your own question :)

The full court press (on Hillary and every other Dem candidate) is on.

edited to add: CNN says this will be a weekly feature, spotlighting Onion satire. Let's see what they use next week.

2. Somehow I doubt we'll be seeing links to stories like these...

3. you know - I love the onion, but it's sad when a 4 year old satire piece

is more prescient and accurate than what the "real" news shows us.
