Jorge Bonilla must be the most humorless person on the planet. His July 11 NewsBusters post is dedicated to how much he hates a satirical article at the Onion headlined “‘I’m A Trump-Era Conservative,’ Says Horrifying Man 25 Years From Now.” The Onion, is making “an awful descent into media self-parody” with this “unfunny and unoriginal” piece of “derivative tripe.”
Bonilla’s post, though, is framed in a larger conspiracy theory: that Univision, which purchased a controlling stake in The Onion earlier this year, is now dictating the website’s editorial agenda, which apparently involves a mythical dictate from Univision bigwigs to mock Trump — as if The Onion hasn’t been doing that for years.
He has no proof of this, mind you, but he nevertheless rants that “This awful stab at comedy is nothing less than Univision Digital’s attempts to follow the vision of boss Isaac Lee, who infamously characterized opponents of the network’s agenda as ‘Nazis’.”
Bonilla later updated his post with what he called “Exhibit B,” a post from Onion sister site Clickhole headlined “Devastating: This Guy Knows Exactly How Black People Should Act Around Police Officers, But He Has No Black Friends To Tell About It.”
Nope, no sense of humor whatsoever.
