The Onion Wins Bidding For Infowars Assets
The deal is expected to close in the coming weeks.
The Onion, a satirical news website, has won the bidding for the assets of Infowars, a far-right conspiracy theory website. The deal is expected to close in the coming weeks, according to a statement from The Onion.
The deal includes Infowars' website, social media accounts, and other assets.
The terms of the deal were not disclosed, but The Onion said it plans to use Infowars' assets to expand its reach and "continue to provide its readers with the finest in news and satire."
Infowars was founded in 1999 by Alex Jones, who has been a vocal supporter of former President Donald Trump.
The website has been known for promoting conspiracy theories, including the claim that the Sandy Hook school shooting was a hoax.
In 2018, Infowars was banned from several social media platforms, including Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube.
The company has also been sued by several families of the victims of the Sandy Hook shooting.
The Onion is a satirical news website that has been publishing since 1988.
The website is known for its humorous and often absurd take on current events.
The Onion has won several awards for its work, including the Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Cartooning in 2014.
The website has also been praised by critics for its ability to skewer politicians and other public figures.
The acquisition of Infowars' assets is a major coup for The Onion.
The deal will give The Onion a much larger audience and a new platform to distribute its content.
It is unclear what The Onion plans to do with Infowars' assets, but the company has said that it will continue to use them to produce satirical content.
The acquisition is likely to be met with mixed reactions. Some people will welcome The Onion's takeover of Infowars, while others will be concerned about the company's plans for the website. Only time will tell what the future holds for Infowars and The Onion.
