The Onion Buys Infowars Backed by Sandy Hook Families in Bankruptcy Auction
Nov 14, 2024, 02:34 PM
Satirical news outlet The Onion has acquired Alex Jones' Infowars in a court-mandated bankruptcy auction, backed by families of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims who had been awarded over $1 billion in defamation judgments against Jones. The acquisition includes Infowars' website, social media accounts, trademarks, video archives, and studio in Austin, Texas. The Onion plans to relaunch Infowars in January 2025 as a parody of itself, mocking 'weird internet personalities' who peddle conspiracies and health supplements, with gun control advocacy group Everytown for Gun Safety as an exclusive advertising partner. The sale price was not immediately disclosed.
