From one of many reports: https://www.reuters.com/world/us/parody ... 024-11-14/
On first hearing of this, I thought it was just more of the Onion satire. But it isn't.
Like a headline lifted from the Onion, the parody news website is buying conspiracy theorist Alex Jones' Infowars in a bankruptcy auction.
The Onion said in a statement on Thursday it aims to replace Infowars' "relentless barrage of disinformation" with the Onion's "noticeably less hateful disinformation."
Financial terms of the purchase were not disclosed. Infowars' website was shut down on Thursday and the Onion said it aimed to relaunch the platform in January.
