The Onion Proposes Takeover of Infowars to Transform it into a Parody Platform
The satirical news outlet The Onion has submitted a proposal to a Texas state judge to take over the Infowars platforms, owned by conspiracy theorist Alex Jones. This move comes as Jones' company, Free Speech Systems, faces liquidation due to over $1 billion in defamation judgments related to false claims about the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. The Onion plans to use Infowars' intellectual property to create a parody site, with profits benefiting the Sandy Hook families. The proposal includes hiring comedic talent to manage the site, aiming to transform it into a larger comedy network. Alex Jones has vowed to contest the proposal in court, planning to continue his shows under a new brand.
