The Onion Buys Alex Jones' Infowars with Sandy Hook Families' Backing
Nov 14, 2024, 02:51 PM
The Onion, a satirical news outlet, has acquired Alex Jones' Infowars at a bankruptcy auction for an undisclosed price. The purchase, backed by families of Sandy Hook shooting victims and Everytown for Gun Safety, includes Infowars' website, customer lists, inventory, and certain social media accounts. The Onion plans to relaunch Infowars in January as a parody of itself, mocking 'weird internet personalities' who peddle conspiracy theories and health supplements. This acquisition marks the end of Jones's 25-year run on the platform.
