Description
The satirical news publication The Onion was named the winning bidder for Alex Jones' Infowars at a bankruptcy auction, backed by families of Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims whom Jones owes more than $1 billion in defamation judgments for calling the massacre a hoax.
The purchase would turn over Jones’ company, which for decades has peddled in conspiracy and misinformation, to a humor website that plans to relaunch the Infowars platform in January as a parody. The judge in Jones’ bankruptcy ordered a hearing for next week after Jones and his lawyers raised questions about how the auction was conducted.
