"The Onion," a website best known for its parodies and satirical news stories ranging from international politics to local ballot issues, has waded into a real and legitimate free speech case involving a Parma man, his satirical Facebook page and his First Amendment rights. The preeminent parody site filed an amicus brief, a legal filing by an outside party seeking to influence the court, in order to urge the Supreme Court justices to take the case involving Anthony Novak, who sued the City of Parma after city police charged him in connection with a parody police Facebook page in 2016. Novak was later acquitted. More on this story: https://www.news5cleveland.com/news/local-news/cleveland-metro/preeminent-parody-site-the-onion-pushes-supreme-court-to-hear-parma-mans-free-speech-case
