"Under a proposed deal with court administrators, Infowars would be leased by Global Tetrahedron for $81,000 a month for six months, with an option to renew for another six months."
"The sum that could be raised under the deal is a surface scratch on the big $1.4bn defamation judgment against Jones for claiming that the Sandy Hook school shooting was a political hoax."
"With this new InfoWars, we will democratize psychological torture, welcoming brutal and sadistic ideas from everyone, even the very stupidest among us."
"The proposed deal is the Onion's second attempt to buy Infowars, which came to prominence on the back of challenging official interpretations of historical events."
The Onion intends to lease Infowars for $81,000 a month, with a six-month renewal option, as part of a deal approved by a Texas court. This follows a $1.4 billion defamation judgment against Alex Jones for his false claims about the Sandy Hook shooting. The Onion's CEO announced comedian Tim Heidecker as the new creative director. The deal aims to parody Infowars' misinformation, although it requires final approval from Judge Maya Guerra Gamble, who previously blocked the sale due to valuation concerns.
