Was this from the Onion?

interesting times.

And it's not even 7:30am!

Well I’m going to have to think about the time frame.

Now if only the Daily Show could own Fox News

The Daily Show DOES own Fox News.

We need to take the more truthful info back.

The Onion forever! Maybe we need to subscribe?

At least Jones won't keep the money

Can’t believe it wasn’t written by The Onion!😁😂 This is cool because the proceeds should go to Sandy Hook families. The proposed concept of a place for internet humor writers is perfect! Hope this is what transpires!!

Impossible to have seen this coming!

From the Möbius strip of a headline to the entirety of the story, it may well be the definitive description of "too weird for fiction".

How delicious!

Turn their hate on trump with actual factual info. Instead of being enraged by phony pizzagate, be enraged by actual gym Jordan etc. idk.

Federal judge orders liquidation of Alex Jones' assets to pay Sandy Hook families

The satirical website The Onion purchased InfoWars on Thursday, a capstone on years of litigation and bankruptcy proceedings following InfoWars founder Alex Jones' defamation of families associated with the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre.

Those families backed The Onion's bid to purchase InfoWars' intellectual property, including its website, customer lists and inventory, certain social media accounts and the production equipment used to put Jones on the air. The Connecticut families agreed to forgo a portion of their recovery to increase the overall value of The Onion's bid, enabling its success.


The families said the purchase would put an end to Jones' misinformation campaign.

"We were told this outcome would be nearly impossible, but we are no strangers to impossible fights.

In 2022, the families that brought the case against Jones in Connecticut secured a $1.4 billion verdict in their defamation lawsuit.

Our clients knew that true accountability meant an end to Infowars and an end to Jones' ability to spread lies, pain and fear at scale. After surviving unimaginable loss with courage and integrity, they rejected Jones' hollow offers for allegedly more money if they would only let him stay on the air because doing so would have put other families in harm's way," said Chris Mattei, attorney for the Connecticut plaintiffs and partner at Koskoff Koskoff & Bieder...................
