美国的恶搞资讯文化，你受得了吗?

而《洋葱》最为著名的要数其政治报道。《新共和》杂志的一篇文章说，《洋葱》是全美“最好的专栏版”，因为它“能够巧妙地用寥寥数笔揭示问题所在”。

for example, when george w. bush became the us president in 2001, the onion published a satire piece predicting massive debt and a huge boost in military spending. the article fabricated a speech bush made to the public; its headline said it all: “bush: ‘our long national nightmare of peace and prosperity is finally over’.”

例如，2001年乔治?布什当选美国总统时，《洋葱》发表了一篇讽刺性文章，预言政府将负债累累，且军费开支将大幅度增加。文章编造了一篇布什的公众演讲稿，标题则说明了一切：《布什：“我们国家长期和平繁荣的噩梦终于结束了”》。

while traditional media outlets are cautious when reporting on sensitive topics such as religion and race, tracy says nothing is off limits for the onion, “no matter how uncomfortable they may make some readers.”

在报道宗教、种族等敏感话题时，传统媒体往往会十分谨慎，而特雷西表示，对于《洋葱》而言，没有什么禁忌可言，“不管多么糟糕，总会有人看的。”

but editors at the onion do tread a fine line, as tracy explains: “what you have to be really careful about is what the target of the joke is. if the target of the joke is wrong, if you’re targeting the victim or someone who doesn’t deserve our ire, then it doesn’t feel right and it also doesn’t feel funny.”
