Critic Of All, Criticised By None

Everyone loves The Onion:

No one has panned the Onion News Network. Of course not. America has inexhaustible reserves of good will for the homespun Onion, which started as a print weekly in Wisconsin in 1988, as it does for no other national comedy institution except maybe Mark Twain. “The Simpsons” is past its prime. “The Daily Show” is admired but partisan. And each incarnation of “Saturday Night Live” bugs its audience in a new way. The Onion, though, is like overwork or pizza. It’s your patriotic duty to not not like it.
