Judge Blocks The Onion's Purchase of Infowars, Citing Flawed Auction
Dec 11, 2024, 02:03 PM
A federal judge in Texas has rejected the auction sale of Alex Jones' Infowars to the satirical news outlet The Onion. The judge criticized the bidding process as flawed, stating that it lacked transparency and left significant money on the table for the Sandy Hook families, who are owed compensation from Jones due to defamation lawsuits. The Onion had planned to remove Jones from the platform and relaunch Infowars as a parody in January. Alex Jones, who did not attend the hearing, celebrated the ruling on his program, calling the auction 'ridiculous' and 'fraudulent.' The decision came after The Onion won the November auction, but the process was challenged by another bidder.
