Did The Onion buy Infowars? Here’s what’s happening

Satirical outlet The Onion has moved a step closer to taking control of Infowars, the conspiracy theory platform founded by Alex Jones.

According to The New York Times, The Onion has entered a new licensing agreement with the bankruptcy receiver overseeing Infowars, Gregory S. Milligan. The deal, however, remains subject to court approval.

The Onion has made two attempts to purchase Infowars. Global Tetrahedron won a 2024 bankruptcy auction to purchase the business, vowing to make the website a parody of itself. However, a bankruptcy judge nullified the results, stating that he did not believe that the company’s bid was more valuable than one made by Jones’s supporters.
