The Onion Acquires Alex Jones' Infowars

In a surreal twist of media history, The Onion has won the bidding for Alex Jones' Infowars assets.

The acquisition, approved by a court-appointed administrator, includes the site's intellectual property, social media accounts, and studio equipment.

Onion CEO Ben Collins stated that the goal is to dismantle the 'misinformation machine' and replace it with a satirical platform.

A shirtless Alex Jones reacted furiously on a livestream, vowing to fight the takeover and accusing the new owners of being 'skinwalkers.'
