The Onion Purchases InfoWars in Bankruptcy Auction with help of Sandy Hook families

[grayestofghosts]

I am not making this up.

Summary for people who aren't from the US or have been living here under a rock:

1. A gunman shot up Sandy Hook elementary school in 2012
   
2. Alex Jones, creator of conspiracy "news" company InfoWars, continuously pushed the conspiracy that the dead children in the shooting were actually "crisis actors" and the whole thing was staged as an excuse to take guns away from US citizens
   
3. (Please note that absolutely nothing has happened to US gun rights since Sandy Hook)
   
4. Families of those murdered in the shooting sue InfoWars into bankruptcy
   
5. The Onion, a satirical newspaper, along with the families of those murdered, purchase InfoWars along with its assets like mailing lists and social media accounts, with the intent of turning it into a satirical website lampooning the original owner
   

I guess we'll see how this one plays out, but maybe there's some glimmer of justice still in the world.
