I love The Onion, with its side-splitting openly-fake news. But I’m alarmed at how The Guardian is becoming more and more like reading The Onion! Here’s an example from yesterday:

A woman is to stand trial after pleading not guilty to displaying a threatening bumper sticker on her car.
Georgia Venables, of Prenton Place in Chester, allegedly had a sticker on her car that read: “Don’t be a cunt.”
She is accused of displaying threatening or abusive writing, or a sign or visible representation likely to cause harassment, alarm, or distress.

And here’s another one:

Donald Trump has refused to pay £290,000 ($360,000) in legal fees after his English lawsuit against a private investigations firm was dismissed, a court in London has heard.
Trump brought a data protection lawsuit against Orbis Business Intelligence over allegations in a dossier written by its co-founder, Christopher Steele, but his claim was thrown out in February last year.|
The Steele dossier alleged ties between Trump’s 2016 election campaign and Russia as well as other salacious allegations, all of which Trump denied.

Things have come to a pretty pass when the real news starts looking deliberately fake.
