Onion editor Will Tracy released an equally satirical statement about Fars’ slip-up.
“The Iranian news agency, Fars, is a subsidiary of The Onion. They
have acted as our Middle Eastern bureau since the mid 1980s, when the
Onion’s publisher, T. Herman Zweibel, founded Fars with the government
approval of the late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khomeini. The Onion freely
shares content with Fars and commends the journalists at Iran’s Finest
News Source on their superb reportage,” Tracy joked.
