Can’t think of a group I’d like to very publicly piss off than the writers at The Onion, who could surely reorganize like a T1000 to spend the rest of my life roasting my sorry carcass
Crowdsource purchase of the Onion.
Front page forever satire, classic onion.
Stories of actual news, fact checking, media literacy and truth to power.
Publish leaks, platform whistle blowers.
Frankly insane that the organization that has collectively, over its history, produced the greatest satire ever made by humans, is “not profitable”.
And I guess that “not profitable” means in danger when we just need a single benefactor a la olden times to keep it in perpetuity.
When they say "not profitable" they usually mean we aren't able to pay our fail upward do nothing executives the kind of psychotically disproportionate compensation they're used to
I don't want to misread this, but are you suggesting that somebody with money needs to buy it for the name, while keeping the writers?
Because Defector hasn't suffered from not owning the Deadspin name, even though it's mostly the same writers
Yeah it’s a fantasy but a billionaire unconcerned with it being profitable buying it and running it at a loss is the dream.
Patronage.
People do it with operas and shit and, again, the Onion is a goddamn national treasure.
Why? We get exploited workers, non union employers & labour abuse at many other ny state establishments making Wegmans one of many options to chose from.

Why isn’t there a weirdo billionaire with good taste (maybe they don’t exist?) that will sink his money into something like this versus destroying the Baltimore Sun?
Not even a formal multi-trllionaire that is trying to giving all his money to charity and is now only down to a billion, but is working on that as well to give away?
Speaking hypotheticals of course.
