The Onion's Renewed Effort to Acquire Alex Jones's Infowars
The Onion, a satirical news outlet, has made another attempt to acquire Infowars, the website founded by Alex Jones. This follows Jones's bankruptcy after a $1.4 billion defamation judgment related to false claims about the Sandy Hook shooting. The Onion plans to transform Infowars into a parody site, with support from some Sandy Hook families. The new agreement involves licensing Infowars for $81,000 a month, pending approval from a Texas court. The Onion's parent company, Global Tetrahedron, aims to use the site for satirical content, highlighting the absurdity of conspiracy theories.
