The Georgia Public Policy Foundation used a quote in its Friday Facts from the satirical The Onion, last week and has received several responses, including, “Guys, I’m confused. You included a report from The Onion in your clips today. Of course, The Onion is made-up news intended as parody. Did you include it in your clips knowing that it’s parody? If so, are you confident that everyone else knows it’s parody?”

A search on the GPPF website shows they’ve been quoting The Onion for years. Or are some people trying to divert attention from the interesting MARTA item in the Friday Facts?

Isn’t a free-market think tank is allowed to have a sense of humor?
