Onion is trying to make a comeback but honestly, their content has been a bit meh because it's almost too on the nose and close to reality.
Old onion was great because the satire cascaded into something completely out of this world humor.
Like if they ran their closeted republican report today (https://youtu.be/simV1ZXFsxI) it just wouldn't be as funny because the problem has only gotten worse in the wrong direction. There is just no next level up that they can go and still keep it satire.
