Despite their popularity, particularly among young people ages 18 to 34, the two shows have had relatively little competition besides each other – Fox News's attempt at a right-wing counterpart, "The 1/2 Hour NewsHour," quickly fizzled in 2007. But the latest player to join the game might just make a contest of things. On Friday evening, The Onion will launch "The Onion News Network" on IFC.
