Alex Jones stormed an Infowars livestream shirtless to lambaste The Onion, the satirical outlet that has secured a licensing deal to run his bankrupt right‑wing site after he lost ownership in 2022 following a $1.5 billion judgment for his false Sandy Hook hoax claims; Jones denounced the new owners as “body snatchers,” warned they would misrepresent and profit from his brand, and vowed to continue his program under a new name despite the court‑blocked purchase and a monthly $81,000 licensing fee that will funnel profits to the Sandy Hook families, while The Onion’s creative director Tim Heidecker and CEO Ben Collins framed the transition as a way to turn the “machinery of lies” into a force for social good.

Shirtless Alex Jones Melts Down After Losing Infowars to The Onion

“The whole thing’s about defaming me!” Jones screamed.

The Daily Beast

I have to say that if The Onion got `infowars-com` and turned it into a very serious and credible news organization, that would be the most meta parody of parody of parody inception ever and a total mindfsck.

#KnowledgeFight, the people who've been studying #AlexJones for years have some valuable insight into how parody could make Alex stronger.

Maybe being sincere, earnest, and honest would be a better way to be the anti- #InfoWars.

I have a concern about The Onion's purchase of #Infowars;

Like particles of matter and antimatter I am worried they will destroy each other in a burst of Neutrinos leaving behind a bowl of petunias and a very confused whale in the rubble.

The Onion has a new plan to take over Alex Jones' Infowars

The satirical news outlet The Onion has a new plan to take over conspiracy theorist Alex Jones' Infowars platforms and turn them into parodies. Under a proposal submitted to a Texas judge on Monday, The Onion would be granted a temporary license to the intellectual property of Infowars' parent company. That would allow The Onion to post its own content on the Infowars platforms. Jones is vowing to fight the plan in court. His company is facing liquidation because of the more than $1 billion in defamation judgments he owes relatives of victims of the 2012 Sandy Hook school shooting for calling the massacre in Connecticut a hoax.
