The Onion Takes Control of the Alex Jones Media Empire

*** Not Satire

Satirical news company The Onion has won a bankruptcy auction of Alex Jones’ media empire, which includes the conspiracy-theory-laden website InfoWars.

Jones announced Thursday morning that “the Connecticut democrats with The Onion newspaper bought us.”

The Onion plans to shutter Jones’ InfoWars and rebuild the website featuring well-known internet humor writers and content creators.

Juries awarded the Sandy Hook families $1.5 billion in their lawsuits, but they have been unable to collect anything from Jones.
