The Onion Acquires Infowars

The Onion Acquires Infowars

In a stunning turn of events, the satirical publication The Onion is set to take control of the right-wing conspiracy site Infowars.

The acquisition, which emerged from Alex Jones' bankruptcy proceedings, aims to dismantle the platform's existing infrastructure and relaunch it as a parody of itself.

Jones has reacted with a shirtless online rant, accusing the new owners of being 'skinwalkers' and urging his followers to buy remaining merchandise.

The deal represents a symbolic victory for the families of the Sandy Hook shooting victims, who have spent years seeking accountability for Jones' false claims.
