New York Times - Factual
https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/02/09/world/americas/brazil-dam-collapse.html

Both sites looks legit but if you look closely that a lot of photos from the Onion is mostly Photoshop-ed or edited to make real. If you read both Articles you can say that the Onion is making a joke of the CEO of the Amazon company, by saying that the National Enquirer posses a nude photo of him, thus making it fake at the other hand the New York Times is very professional of their photos and videos and I found out that the other websites is publishing the same report of "A collapsing Dam in Brazil" which making it believable.

1. Check the photos that they are using
