The Onion wins a Peabody

Recommended Posts

Wonders never cease. Brilliant though frequently off-color Onion News Network just won a Peabody, one of journalism's most prestigious awards. From the Peabody press release:

Onion News Network (www.theonion.com)

The Onion

The satirical tabloid's online send-up of 24-hour cable-TV news was hilarious, trenchant and not infrequently hard to distinguish from the real thing.

One of my favorite ONN pieces -- "Prague's Franz Kafka International Named World's Most Alienating Airport." By some accounts, bits of this actually got picked up as real news: http://www.theonion.com/content/video/prag...a_international
