Finally, some reporters that summed up the situation pretty well:

That page has a sidebar of related links about the WTC attack. Very informative.

But the Onion, however funny, is as real as the Weekly World News. As in 100% fabricated.

"But the Onion, however funny, is as real as the Weekly World News. As in 100% fabricated."
That warning was necessary for this website? Gawd, now I'm really scared.
To be fair, some of the material in the "Holy F***ing S***! - Attack on America" group of links might have been fabricated. I mean, the article about "God Angrily Clarifies 'Don't Kill' Rule" might turn out to be based on a bit of rumor rather than fact, but the article "Talking to Your Child About the WTC Attack" truly (no lie) has its facts correct. That the latter is also sarcastic in an underhanded way is why the Onion is so cool.

I've seen The Onion before. When I was visiting MSOE (Milwaukee School Of Engineering) during the summer they had that paper there. I believe the heldline had to do with Gore still waiting for Clinton to call him. It also had a part labeled "What our loved ones are throwing at us." Funny paper.
