News You Can Use...For A Laugh

Tipping our hat to our Arizona Bureau Chief, we have another hard news source:  the New Yorker's Borowitz Report.  Whether it's covering the G20 summit, or the Ted Cruz valley, the Borowitz Report imagines what might be happening.  Examples:

"Hopes for a positive G20 summit crumbled today as President Obama blurted to Russia’s Vladimir Putin at a joint press appearance,  'Everyone here thinks you’re a jackass.'”

Or,

"Aides to President Obama said today that he was 'visibly shaken' after receiving support from House Speaker John Boehner for his Syria campaign, adding that the Speaker’s vote of confidence was 'making him rethink the whole thing.'”

And this one that's pretty close to reality:

"As the debate over Syria moves to the United States Congress, a leading Senate Republican [Cruz] said today that the only way to resolve the crisis in the war-torn Middle Eastern country is by 'defunding Obamacare at once.'”

Along with The Onion, we'll have to start reading the Borowitz Report to get the "real" story.

BONUS:  And, wouldn't you know, a wingnut simpleton thought the Borowitz item was for realz! (wait for the page to load).
