Actually not an Onion article: The Onion Says It Has Bought Infowars, Alex Jones’s Site, Out of Bankruptcy. They’re going to relaunch the site as “a parody of itself” with Everytown for Gun Safety as an advertiser.

Ok, this one is from the Onion: Here's Why I Decided To Buy 'InfoWars'.

Today we celebrate a new addition to the Global Tetrahedron LLC family of brands. And let me say, I really do see it as a family. Much like family members, our brands are abstract nodes of wealth, interchangeable assets for their patriarch to absorb and discard according to the opaque whims of the market. And just like family members, our brands regard one another with mutual suspicion and malice.

NPR: Bankruptcy judge rejects The Onion's bid for Infowars.

The judge said he believes everyone acted in good faith, but that the trustee overseeing the sale should have "scratched and clawed" to get a higher offer for the families.

"I don't like second-guessing trustees," the judge said, but that is exactly what he did.
