The Onion is a satirical newspaper. None of the "news" stories are true. --Alice Maggio -----Original Message----- From: Jackson, Giovanna [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Monday, March 17, 2003 12:32 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [ARLIS-L] Article on NEA funding I thought this was a joke. At first I was happy that the NEA was funded, no matter how, but the reactions listed are so over-the-top that I decided it must be a spoof. Does anyone know if The Onion is a viable news source -- it looks kind of like an online National Inquirer.
