The Onion to Lease Infowars Following Court Decision, Aims to Transform Platform
The satirical website The Onion plans to lease Alex Jones's Infowars after a Texas court provisionally approved a leasing agreement. The Onion's parent company, Global Tetrahedron, will pay $81,000 a month for six months, with an option to renew for another six months. This move comes after a $1.4 billion defamation judgment against Jones for his claims regarding the Sandy Hook school shooting. The Onion aims to turn Infowars into a parody, with comedian Tim Heidecker set to take over as creative director. The deal must be signed off by Texas judge Maya Guerra Gamble, who initially blocked the sale, questioning its value compared to other bids associated with Jones.
