The Onion's Satirical Takeover of Infowars

0:00The Onion just dropped a wild proposal to hijack Alex Jones' info-war's platforms. As his company free-speed systems heads toward liquidation over more than $1 billion in defamation judgments from Sandy Hook families, the Onion wants an exclusive temporary license to the site's intellectual property. That means they'd slap their satirical content on Infowars website and social media. Ben Collins, the Onion CEO, says the deal could kick off around April 30th if a Texas Judge greenlights it. They've already lined up hires like comedian Tim Heideker from Adult Swim Fame to turn it into a full-parity network. Profits would flow straight to the Sandy Hook families and the Onion would cover $81,000 a month and rent and cost for the Austin studio. This all stems from Jones pushing the false narrative that the 2012 Sandy Hook shooting, which killed 20 kids and six educators, was a hopes with crisis actors, families and an FBI agent sued for defamation, landing judgments topping $1.4 billion in Connecticut and nearly

1:02$50 million in Texas. Jones hid back on his show, vowing to battle the plan in court. He admits his team might get booted from the building by month's end, but he's setting up a new studio. The Alex Jones show rolls on via his ex account, other sites, radio stations and fresh merch pages for his supplements and gear. Meanwhile, a court receiver backs the Onion 6 month deal, which could extend another half year while assets get sold off for the families. Sandy Hook lawyers are on board too, even as Jones appeals everything. This saga is far from over, but it could flip infall wars into comedy gold real quick. Global News, powered by AI.
