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?

The consensus is that's it's terrible try-hard partisan political satire? Can you go into more detail?

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

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.
