Website Credibility: The Onion or DHMO?

 
 
 
Which source is more credible: TheOnion.com or DHMO.org? Well the simple answer is the websites are equally credible. The information on both is meant to be jokes so when evaluated as “JOKE” websites their credibility is the same. They neither have nor need a scholarly authority. They are made by comedians who aren’t trying to be educational but funny instead. Their purpose isn’t to try to inform but instead entertain. In this field I think they both do extraordinarily well. The information on these sites is hilarious. Each site is updated daily so the currency of each website is as current as it can get. The design of each site is great. Because they are trying to act professional, they mimic the styles of actual news sites.
