My, oh my, The Onion has truly outdone itself with this coup.

in retrospect it feels like a no-brainer. The Onion is one of the few large organizations that has a track record of distributing fake news responsibly.

Frankly, it would have been more fun if they gradually shifted the content, rather than outright announcing this and losing the audience. Sort of like the old âlook what we made 
419 e-mail scammers doâ pranks, but with 
's.

This is what 7 or 8 years of listening to Alex Jones does to you.
I really hope they get the desk and the archives.

The stuff is poison though. Itâs hurting people now. Maybe it would have been in some way more effective to turn the tap slowly, but I wouldnât want the damage in the interim on my conscience either.

I imagine that Alex Jones is incredibly pissed that The Onion, of all possible companies, grabbed Infowars.
His lifeâs work, the stuff central to his image and career, is now in the hands of satirists who are going to use it to mock him and everything he stands for.
I hope it gnaws on Jonesâs mind, and does not give him any peace.

It bears mentioning that integral to the purchase was multiple family members of the Sandy Hook victims:
The Onionâs bid was backed by the families of eight victims of the school shooting and one first responder. It also will have an exclusive advertising deal with the gun control group Everytown for Gun Safety. CNN was first to report the humor web site had entered the bidding.
This furthers the notion that AJ has been hoist by his own petard.

KF has 15 part series of called Formulaic Objections about depositions where you can hear Infowars shooting themselves in foot again and again and again. Rumor has it that they hired outside help because of KFâs making fun of them so much that they didnât want do it anymore.

Excerpt: After a judge on Thursday ordered an evidentiary hearing into *The Onionâ*s winning bid to purchase Infowars, Alex Jonesâ site resumed operations and claimed the sale has been blocked. But Onion CEO Ben Collins countered this in an update posted on Bluesky and X on Saturday, writing, âWe left the hearing with clear next steps to complete the sale.â According to Collins, a court date has been set for a week from Monday, when the process is expected to be completed, and Infowars asked for permission to continue publishing in the meantime. âThe long and short of it: We won the auction and â youâre not going to believe this â the previous InfoWars folks arenât taking it well,â Collins wrote.
