No, The Onion used to be funny because it based its humor on elements of 
truth and it wasn't one-sided. I don't know what they're like now. 

The Babylon Bee gets really repetitious. I don't see their stuff much 
anymore either.

If either becomes partisan and refuses to base their satire on reality, 
they're simply not funny.

But when I'm talking about Woke so-called "comedy" I'm thinking more about 
the late night, redundant, repeat-o-matic, talk show hosts. Their crap is 
just stupid, not funny at all.

I think Craig Ferguson was the last funny, late night talk show host.
