Watch our sister publication, The Onion, talk headlines and politics on Today
With its coverage growing increasingly prophetic, The Onion staff recently pulled back the curtain to reveal just how all of this fake, occasionally prescient news makes it to digital print. Today’s Willie Geist ventured into The Onion’s stronghold, located in Chicago’s River North neighborhood, which is usually just a stone’s throw away from various construction sites. Geist sat in on an Onion writers meeting, and interviewed editor-in-chief Cole Bolton about the publication’s long-term plans to work with Geist.
