The task of reporting is not a simple one. Each and every day, reporters and editors at publications like The Onion make difficult decisions about which issues should receive attention, knowing that our coverage will influence not only how people think, but also how they act. This responsibility is at the core of an ongoing debate over whether news coverage of transgender, non-binary, and gender-nonconforming people is unduly biased. As the world’s leading news publication with a daily readership of 4.3 trillion, The Onion is compelled to weigh in.

    Those signatures at the bottom of the column…

    and Steve Hannah, Onion CEO on the date of the article’s publication on Feb 17 2023.

    are the only ones that are legible.

    Bottom right is probably Mary Kay Letourneau although a quick google doesn’t turn up any samples of her signature.

    Reddit people identified the top left as T H Zweibel, fictional owner of the Onion

    Top right Joe (something) #19 doesn’t match up with the few athletes with first name Joe and the #19 that I checked. Someone on reddit said it’s Joe Sakic, a hockey player, but it doesn’t match his autographs.

    Again someone on reddit said middle right is Benedict Arnold, but again, this doesn’t match any samples of the signatures that come up.

    Perfectly timed after the death of Charlie Kirk, where everyone was immediately convinced the shooter was a trans antifa liberal as soon as they were arrested.
