Onion’s poke at Moulton certain to prompt tears of laughter

Bill Brotherton

August 14, 2019 by Bill Brotherton

The Onion, the satirical website that bills itself as America’s Finest News Source, had a laugh at the expense of Presidential candidate Seth Moulton of Salem this week. A News in Brief item featuring a photo of a befuddled-looking Moulton and bearing the headline “Seth Moulton Spends Afternoon By Radio to See if They Play Campaign Ad” is guaranteed to draw a chuckle, even from the U.S. Rep. himself we bet. See it here:
