Former NBC News 'disinformation' reporter becomes CEO of The Onion
Fox News
NBC News' so-called "disinformation" reporter Ben Collins announced Thursday he had become CEO of the satirical newspaper The Onion.
Collins, who covered "disinformation, extremism and the internet for NBC News" according to his old author page, has not tried to hide his left-wing political leanings, often firing off liberal missives on social media. He was so furious over Elon Musk's takeover of Twitter that it reportedly got him temporarily banned from covering the billionaire in 2022, and he fumed over the reporting about the "Twitter Files" that revealed internal communications between Twitter employees as they made the decision to block the New York Post's Hunter Biden laptop reporting in 2020. Joseph A. Wulfsohn is a media reporter for Fox News Digital. Story tips can be sent to joseph.wulfsohn@fox.com and on Twitter: @JosephWulfsohn.
In September, Collins threatened to leave journalism in 2024 "unless things dramatically change" but teased that he had been working on his "white whale stories to cap it off." He only had one story published since then, which was a critical piece on Musk's handling of Twitter (now named X) in October.
