Then I noticed that the parody account had started retweeting some things that the real account was posting, showing that Salon had succeeded in parodying itself.
The parody has things like these:

This is the background image from SalonDotCom, NOT A PARODY.
It's a real Salon article by Joan Walsh, April 22, 2013.
For more of how Joan Walsh [Email her] thinks, see SALON’s Joan Walsh Thinks That There Is “No Social Order” Where Blacks Oppress Whites.

So apparently you can make this stuff up, but Salon will always be trying hard to be weirder.
