The Rules

...their original headlines, that...
...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.

The article itself is satirical, but it's reporting on a real event

that The Onion has just reached an agreement to buy InfoWars. It's maybe marginal for the community, but this is basically the only time that one gets to have a single article on both The Onion and Not The Onion

the initial attempt some time back, which fell through, made it to both

so I couldn't resist.

EDIT: For good measure, link to NPR's coverage.

Truly a Schrodinger's Onion article.
