  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Rag owned by billionaire jerks off billionaires.

In other news, the sky was blue today, and surprisingly, water is still wet.

Wait wait wait wait. IS water wet? Or is wet the result of water? Isn't that like saying that light is the sun?

Oh, we're getting off track.

Imagine someone telling you that they were published in the WSJ, and this is what they show you.

Opinion piece or not, how pathetic.

You're not missing much, it's a pretty pathetic paragraph suggesting that we should lick billionaire boots because Amazon delivery is fast.

Here's what I got with some element zapping in ublock:

We ought to build statues of them, not chase them from state to state.

Before Amazon came along, ordering anything by mail ordinarily meant waiting six to eight weeks for delivery. Today, for a trivial fee, not only will Amazon bring virtually anything to you with astonishing alacrity, but the final cost of the goods is comparable to, sometimes even less than, the best price you can find at a retailer near your home. During the pandemic, when we were all afraid of crowds, it kept us all going with anything we needed. Thanks, Jeff Bezos.
