The head of The Onion said they had a choice. They could let InfoWars continue as it was, or they could turn it into "a dumb, stupid website," and they decided on the latter.

They're going to substitue satire directed at conspiricy theories for the InfoWars audience to consume. I hope they don't make it too subtle!!!!

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
