Take an article from a serious newspaper (like “The Washington Post” or “New York Times“) and turn it into something you’d see on The Onion.

For example, the WaPo article “New USDA Poultry Inspection Procedures are Based on Bad Data, Government Report Says” becomes “Chickens Vote on USDA’s New Inspection Procedures.” 

Include how the USDA fragantly courted the gray rooster bloc and public suspicion that lobbyist released a fox into the coop to prevent hens from voting.
