The Onion purchased InfoWars at a bankruptcy auction.

Satirical news site, The Onion, is buying InfoWars, the website founded by conspiracy theorist Alex Jones. And no, it's not a joke. The purchase happened in a bankruptcy auction held after Jones was ordered to pay $1.5 billion in a defamation lawsuit brought by families of Sandy Hook victims.

The purchase of InfoWars by The Onion is a deliberate attempt to ruin the brand's reputation.

And they think people coming to that landing page now... Are going to think that's us, and they're going to confuse it. See, that's deliberate with Bigfoot and all that. Look, before I got on air, stations would only let people on. I'm talking about the Federal Reserve and the New World Order if you mixed in Bigfoot and space aliens and chupacabras, which is fine, but people always ask, why don't you cover that? Because I'm covering Rex 84, and I'm covering the Kennedy assassination, and I'm covering serious issues with serious guests, and... You know, like, I mean, 28, nine years ago, having, while she's alive, on record, LBJ's mistress who heard him say, I'm going to kill Kennedy tomorrow in Dallas and all that. You know, these are, we got the deathbed confession of E. Howard Hunt on his deathbed, how they killed Kennedy, which we already knew because he was arrested there but released. Charles Harrelson was with him. Later, you know, died in prison for shooting a federal judge with 243 at 300 yards in San Antonio. But the point is, is that, is that, That's deliberate. Like, how do we ruin that brand? Well, we get it, and then we put out a bunch of ridiculous crap, and they'll think it's Alex Jones. I mean, that is going to totally blow up.
