Ben Collins, CEO of The Onion, excitedly shared that acquiring InfoWars aligns perfectly with their vision of combining satire and serious social issues, bringing laughter while addressing grave societal implications.
Bryce P. Tetraeder, satirical CEO, described the decision as "an easy one for the Global Tetrahedron executive board," highlighting their mission to intertwine humor with social critique and the absurdities propagated by InfoWars.
The acquisition reinforces The Onion's longstanding goal to provoke thought through satire, amplifying voices that challenge misinformation while acknowledging their past parodying serious topics, like gun safety.
Acquiring InfoWars, especially with its controversial history, is seen by The Onion as a unique opportunity to leverage satire to expose, critique, and humorously dissect the extreme narratives surrounding gun violence and conspiracy.
