The Onion's Bid for Infowars: A New Comedy Hub?

0:00The Onion is making another push to take over Info Wars, the site run by Alex Jones, who's been in bankruptcy since 2022 after racking up. Over $1 billion in defamation payouts to Sandy Hook families. Jones called the 2012 Connecticut School, shooting a hoax with crisis actors pushing gun control, leading to those massive judgments. Earlier this month, an auction for Info Wars assets fell through when a judge tossed the Onion's winning bid over process issues. Now they're proposing a temporary license deal for the site's intellectual property through global tetrahedron, the Onion's parent company. Comedian Tim Heideker, known from adult swim shows, is stepping in as creative director. He teased while relaunch ideas on social media, light turning it into a real estate broker, crypto exchange, or even a file storage service. The plan, filed Monday in Texas Court, offers the Onion exclusive access to InfoWords.com and social accounts for six months, renewable ones.

Meanwhile, Jones bows to battle it in court, but admits his team might get booted by months end. He plans to keep broadcasting the outage Jones show from a new studio on his ex account, radio stations, and fresh sites, saying it's the same content, just a new home. This could reshape InfoWords into a comedy hub if approved around April 30th. This has been Tababay News Today, powered by AI.
