The Onion Buys Alex Jones’s Infowars Out of Bankruptcy

In a surprising turn of events, satirical news outlet The Onion has announced that they have purchased controversial conspiracy theorist Alex Jones’s Infowars out of bankruptcy. The acquisition comes after Infowars filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy earlier this year following a series of legal battles and financial troubles.

The Onion, known for its humorous and often outrageous stories, has long been a thorn in Jones’s side, frequently mocking him and his far-right conspiracy theories. The decision to purchase Infowars has raised eyebrows in the media world, with many wondering what The Onion plans to do with the controversial platform.

In a statement, The Onion’s CEO Mike McAvoy said, “We believe that by acquiring Infowars, we can continue to provide the kind of hard-hitting, no-nonsense journalism that our readers have come to expect from us. We see this as an opportunity to expand our reach and bring our unique brand of satire to a wider audience.”

The move has sparked speculation about how The Onion will handle Infowars’s content going forward. Some have suggested that they may use the platform to further lampoon Jones and his conspiracy theories, while others believe they may try to rebrand Infowars as a more mainstream news outlet.

Jones, for his part, has remained silent on the sale, leading many to wonder if he had any say in the matter. Some have speculated that financial pressures forced him to sell, while others believe he may be planning a comeback in another form.

Regardless of the outcome, The Onion’s purchase of Infowars is sure to shake up the media landscape. With their unique brand of humor and satire, it will be interesting to see how they handle the controversial platform and what impact it will have on the news industry as a whole. Only time will tell what the future holds for this unlikely pairing.
