The Onion turns 36

The Onion, an organization with a uniquely layered name, was founded on this day, 36 years ago. August 29, 1988. from college to local, national, and international headlines, as the world grew hungrier for more and more unreliable news, they've always deceptively delivered. the organization grew enormous, branching from the newsroom to broadcast, eventually becoming the colossal global internet news network it is. today, we celebrate the date, in the name of confusion, diversity, and prevarication, for more nuanced and weird media. to 36 more!
