The Onion's Inauguration Coverage

While we can't trust the Onion for much real news, their Web page layout for articles is something to really take note of. Their article covering the Inauguration is quite funny, but take note of the right side of the article. There are related sections, videos, and radio news bits regarding the subject.

In addition to the article covering the inauguration, there is an infographic about the security measures taken, "public opinion" on the re-vamped page at whitehouse.gov and the best part, a chronicle of "The First 100 Days."

Of course there are also new always popping up in the Politics section of the Web site, but the Onion, not just for an outlet based on satire, but in general, is doing a very extensive and "user friendly" coverage of our "current events."
