The Rules

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

... these are the people who think the 'Machine' that Rage Against the Machine is raging against...

... is the liberal mainstream media.

We are talking about people with negative amounts of media literacy... as well as very low levels of actual literacy.

The thought of this dopey fascist goof listening to RATM while working out in his stupid hat is hilarious

I mean, in all fairness RATM is raging against the mainstream media, they’re just also raging against everything to the right of the mainstream media too.

Wait, I thought they hated washing machines. So confused.

No, actually. They just hate it when people say "ATM machine." They want that machine dropped from the common vernacular.

If we do not have ATM machines what will I do with my PIN number?
