The Onion and Infowars
So here is some great news: according to the New York Times, The Onion is finally succeeding in its quest to take over Infowars, the web site founded and maintained by Alex Jones.
Jones, a far-right media "personality," owes over a billion dollars to the families of victims of the school shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut, after he falsely claimed- over and over-- that the whole thing was fake. As of now, he continues to appear on the outlet, despite the fact that he is bankrupt and Infowars is in receivership.
Basically, the Onion wants to run Infowars as a parody of itself. As an Onion loyalist for over two decades, I'm all in on that....
