Outstanding!

[President Bush]

One bright spot.

The Onion, the satirical news company that repeatedly spoofed conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, has won the bankruptcy auction for control over his media empire — most notably InfoWars, the far-right, conspiracy-minded website that served as Jones’ primary online platform.

Jones announced the sale on X Thursday morning.

“I just got word 15 minutes ago that my lawyers and folks met with the U.S. trustee over our bankruptcy this morning and they said they are shutting us down even without a court order this morning,” Jones said.

“I don’t know what’s going to happen but I’m going to be here until they come and turn the lights off,” he added.

The Onion plans to shutter Jones’ InfoWars and rebuild the website featuring well-known internet humor writers and content creators, according to a person with knowledge of the sale.

Trump's lot is accurate, but a lot less funny.

Founded in 1999 on the heels of the Satanic “panic” and growing steadily ever since, InfoWars has distinguished itself as an invaluable tool for brainwashing and controlling the masses. With a shrewd mix of delusional paranoia and dubious anti-aging nutrition hacks, they strive to make life both scarier and longer for everyone, a commendable goal. They are a true unicorn, capable of simultaneously inspiring public support for billionaires and stoking outrage at an inept federal state that can assassinate JFK but can’t even put a man on the Moon.

Bravo!

Alex Jones is a shit smear in humanity's shorts and Infowars was a piss hole in the snow.

I wonder what The Onion is going to do with it, though.

I'm guessing that The Onion is a parody of a real news site. The new Onion-owned inforwars will be a parody of a paranoid insane news sites.

Although, those sorts of sites kind of parody themselves.

As long as it's funny, I don't really care. It's just good to see Alex Jones have to give up his ill gotten gains. He made his fortune lying about people. It's good to see that the party's over for him.

[President Bush]

The Onion could have staged an enormous mass casualty event with all the money they just spent on this.

[stanky]

They could let him carry on. It would fit them nicely.

Jones is a martyr now.
(never seen his show)

Now he´s free to return to lecturing in the park about the rise of tuberculosis in Hellmann's mayonnaise.
