It is with great pleasure that I report that after a secret court-ordered bankruptcy auction, Infowars, the trash can of conspiracy theories run by Alex Jones, has an official buyer: The Onion.
Yes, going forth, the satirical news company will run Infowars as a parody of itself. The move has the official backing of Everytown for Gun Safety, as well as support from the families of Sandy Hook. (You may recall that Jones promoted vicious lies about the school shooting, which killed 20 first graders and six school officials.) My colleague Anna Merlan reports that the news had Jones spinning out of control this morning and claiming that he would not leave until someone came in and forced him with a court order.
"They’re in the control room," Jones told listeners. "Imperial Troops are through the glass."
Reader, I chuckled so hard seeing this. Pair it with growing signs that even Mar-a-Lago can't seem to stand Elon Musk, and you've got yourself some bona fide rare good news this week.
