In a surprising twist, The Onion announced its purchase of Infowars, a site known for conspiracy theories, emphasizing the absurdity of reality and satire.
Onion CEO Ben Collins expressed excitement about the acquisition on social media, teasing the news as "the funniest news you've ever heard," highlighting the ironic nature of the purchase.
The acquisition serves as poetic justice; families of Sandy Hook victims helped enhance the bid's value by accepting a smaller recovery, contributing to the saga.
This purchase reiterates the fine line between reality and satire in modern media, as a site infamous for fabricating stories is now owned by a parody outlet.
