Discussing the few outlets that actually got the Iraq story right from the beginning, Salon's Joan Walsh makes a point to single out one whose 'coverage' was unintentionally (and hilariously) right on the money... The Onion.

The Onion is celebrating the 4th anniversary of the war all week by putting on the main page some classic articles from the war. A screengrab is below.

There's probably no more succint a summary of the ridiculous debate that took place in 2002/2003 between war critics and war supporters than the fake-- but yet so real-- Point ('This War Will Destabilize The Entire Mideast Region And Set Off A Global Shockwave Of Anti-Americanism')/Counterpoint ('No, It Won't') "debate" that I highlighted there.

It hasn't gotten much better since then.
