'''The Onion''' is a weekly parody newspaper audience that pokes fun of many subjects, especially [[America]] and world leaders. It does not have any political agenda beyond making fun of authority figures and has a balanced approach to lampooning both [[liberals]] and [[conservatives]]. The Onion was originally published in [[Madison]], [[Wisconsin]], by students attending the [[University of Wisconsin-Madison]],<ref>https://edition.cnn.com/2003/TECH/ptech/08/28/bus2.feat.onion.site/index.html</ref> and has since grown to national distribution.

From 2019 to 2024, ''The Onion'' was owned by the [[private equity]]-funded group G/O Media. In April 2024 it was announced that the owner “sold the site to a new Chicago-based firm called Global Tetrahedron, which is 'made up of four digital media veterans with a profound love for The Onion and comedy-based content,' G/O Media CEO Jim Spanfeller said in a memo to staff Thursday.”<ref>https://variety.com/2024/digital/news/the-onion-sold-global-tetrahedron-1235982383/</ref>
