'The Onion' Proudly Stands With The Media As The Enemy Of The People

https://www.theonion.com/the-onion-proudly-stands-with-the-media-as-the-enemy-1828068740?utm_content=Main&utm_medium=SocialMarketing&utm_campaign=SF&utm_source=Facebook&fbclid=IwAR0OeHXKxHwonnDZjn0I6bkbiz9JUBX1OOhnpXF1frV9psmHwbVFknyliMc

In recent days, President Donald Trump has increased his criticism of the media, and at a briefing Thursday, his press secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, controversially refused to walk back his statements. Recognizing that unity in the journalistic profession is absolutely essential to allowing reporters to bravely and securely practice their craft, The Onion announces that we proudly stand with our brothers and sisters in the media as the enemy of the people.

When the Trump administration refers to news organizations as antagonists to the American public, we know exactly what they’re doing: correctly identifying the awesome power that we hold over the slobbering masses and trying to drive a wedge between the public and the fourth estate. Rest assured, however, that this wedge was already there. We in the news media despised you imbeciles long before Trump, and we’ll despise you long after he’s gone.

Honestly, you empty-headed dipshits who can barely process a simple headline or understand its meaning should be happy we interact with you at all.
