Most people know that things they read on "The Onion" are satire, and meant
to entertain. But items on the fake website abcnews.com.co aren't clever or
outrageous enough to clearly be untrue.
My real objection to your citing abcnews.com.co is that the site serves as
a rallying point for extreme (and vile) racist comment about President
Obama. (Most of this shows up in posted comments on other stories on the
site, not in comments about the story about Sheriff Arpaio.)
