    Jeff Larson is a big fan of The Onion and saved it from dying. After being forced to sell the first time, they had to tone down a lot of the articles and it got pretty meh. Then this guy created a company referencing a long-running Onion joke, bought it, and gave them free reign again. Like totally hands off, it’s the employees who decide what to publish

    I’ve been reading The Onion since the early 2000s and it got BETTER under his ownership. Back to their roots.
