Satire Publication The Onion Buys Alex Jones' Infowars

1 week ago Satirical news publication The Onion has bought Alex Jones’ Infowars at a bankruptcy auction with the backing of families of victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. For decades, Jones has peddled in conspiracy and misinformation. The purchase turns over Jones’ company to a humor website that plans to relaunch the Infowars platform in January as a parody. The sale was announced Thursday. Within hours, Infowars’ website was down and Jones was broadcasting from what he said was a new studio location. Jones vowed to challenge the sale and auction process in court.
