What is The Onion and Philosophy: Fake News Story True Alleges Indignant Area Professor (Popular Culture and Philosophy Book 54) about?

The __Onion,__ with its unique brand of deadpan satirical humor, has become a familiar part of the American scene. The newspaper has a readership of over a million, and it reaches millions more with its spin-off books and The Onion News Network. The __Onion__ has shown us that standard ways of thinking about the news have their grotesque and silly side, and this invites philosophical examination. Twenty-one philosophers were commissioned to figure out just what makes the __Onion__ so truthful and insightful. Are the __Onion__ writers truly cynical, or just cynically faking it? Does the __Onion__ really have a serious point of view on religion? On sex? On politics? Who cares what Area Man thinks? If everyone’s so dumb, how come so many __Onion__ readers keep on laughing at how dumb they are?
