    The orange one has issued a new edict "banning obese foreigners or
    people with diabetes from obtaining visas to visit the United States"
    [1]. Blimey I can see an increase in pie sales.

    After reading that, I can't see how The Onion can remain in business.

    mediabiasfactcheck gets confused by Private Eye because it contains both
    truth and satire. Until quite recently, I would have described the
    checkers there as somewhat stupid as it's easy to distinguish fact from
    satire in the Eye. However, events are overtaking that conclusion.
