The Onion to acquire Infowars

In a remarkable turn for the Infowars bankruptcy case, The Onion has submitted a new bid to license the intellectual property of Alex Jones' media empire.

The proposal involves a monthly payment to the court-appointed trustee to manage the site's transition into a satirical platform.

Jones has condemned the move as an attempt to 'steal his identity' and silence his voice.

The acquisition is supported by families of the Sandy Hook victims, who are owed over $1 billion in defamation judgments by Jones.
