Satirical news site The Onion won the auction to acquire conspiracy theorist Alex Jones’ Infowars, which was sold off as part of a defamation settlement after he falsely called the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre a hoax.
What’s interesting is the Onion and the Sandy Hook Lawyers have been in negotiations for this to go smoothly, because the Onion despite being satire is probably the most progressive publication in the US on gun violence and other buyers have talked about keeping Alex Jones involved in the company. Imagine those conversations.
