He's not going anywhere. He already set up shell companies and has a back up studio. Not sure what the onion has going on but apparently the rent on his old studio is 7k a month.
But this plus Trump disowning him might be enough for him to no longer be relevant.

The onion should do something like the Colbert report but for infowars, portraying a dude that is a maghat but that shows how fucked up the whole rhetoric really is.

Tbh I think that's what Tim Heideker seems intent on doing

Alex Jones cannot be parodied as he is a parody of himself already. Even the most scathing satire will make him seem sane.
Edit: Jones claims to be fighting the literal Christian devil and that God presented him with prophecies of how the universe works over a chicken fried steak. And that these revelations are confirmed by God because Jones can wake up in the middle of the night and know exactly what time it is. How can you parody this?

I mean the daily beast is annoying, but I don’t think it’s even close to being on the same level as infowars. Clickbait is not as bad as claiming sandy hook didn’t happen or any of the other batshit crazy stuff that comes out of infowars, imo

I hope Tim Heidecker incorporates Infowars into the OnCinema universe. I'm a real infohead

This is good news, but I think it's important to keep two things in mind.
The first thing is that the sale hasn't been finalized, and it still needs to go through the same court that struck down their initial deal to buy infowars. This one is a lot more likely to succeed because the circumstances have changed, but it's not set in stone.
The other thing is that this isn't going to take Alex Jones off the air. After the courts failed to hold him accountable 2 years ago he spent a bunch of time moving his assets and revenue streams around to shield them from the judgment. He has also spent that time preparing it to jump ship to a new network that he technically doesn't own and thus can't be seized by the courts.
This is a big black eye for Jones, his brand is going to be seriously harmed by losing infowars, and he's going to spend the rest of his life living in the shadow of the Sandy Hook case, but this is far from the end for him

I’ll believe this when it’s approved by a judge. This dude has not really faced any accountability and has been allowed to game to courts so he does not pay anything to the victims

I would say that is the WORST thing to happen to ALEX JONES
but i realize maybe it would be worse if it was taken over by LIBERAL GAYS
maybe theyll have BLUE HAIRED LIBERAL GAYS do all the characters
just to hurt Alex Jones feelings
