The Onion buys Alex Jones' InfoWars

I made myself ugly by anger and not taking my own supplements and eating processed foods.

Who is Alex Jones: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO)

Put down those guns, killer cops and others

Satirical news site The Onion (theonion.com) has won the bidding to acquire the assets of Alex Jones' Infowars, with the support of Sandy Hook [false flag] families. The site unironically acquired Infowars after their auction bid was selected by the court-appointed bankruptcy trustee overseeing the Free Speech Systems bankruptcy proceedings.

Everytown for Gun Safety, the largest gun violence prevention organization in the USA, will be the exclusive launch advertiser for the site in the new venture.

I used to be quite dapper and youthful.

The Onion's goal in acquiring the site was "to end Infowars' relentless barrage of disinformation [and/or misinformation] for the sake of selling supplements and replace it with The Onion's relentless barrage of humor for good," the company said in a press release.

Financial details of the bid were not disclosed. The publication plans to launch the new platform in January 2025.

"The Onion has a long history of helping the American public navigate some of the most difficult moments in American life, from our historic issue after 9/11 to our groundbreaking reportage after every American mass shooting. In that tradition, we hope the Sandy Hook families will be able to marvel at the cosmic joke we will soon make of InfoWars.com," said The Onion's CEO Ben Collins.
