The Onion reaches new deal to take over Alex Jones’ Infowars

I think it's more that the Onion shows, that lawful good doesn't have to be a boring poster boy.

Is Tim and Eric Awesome Show esoteric now? Why you gotta make me feel old like that T-T

Oh thank God it's on the Innernette, I'm so sick of all those e-worms and e-viruses on the Internet

Thank God he was exonerated, Rosetti the Rat is the one who should be in prison.

It's A LOT to explain - https://www.avclub.com/tim-heidecker-is-putting-himself-on-trial-for-murder-ri-1820494473

Tim murdered ~~20~~ 19 kids with poison vapes (one was a junkie so it doesn't count)

I've got the fever. Hope you got it too.

And throw in one of those little circular pill holders for ivermectin

Contrary to popular belief, giving your assets to family members and then declaring that you're bankrupt doesn't actually stop court orders. It will take a while, a very long while given how he's tried every trick in the book, but eventually the rope will run out. It's just a very slow process in the courts.

Not sure it’s his mouth he’s talking out of.

It's all about the clicks baby.

He says trump is demented, but he never says being demented is a bad thing

It’s kind of a complicated situation. Disclaimer, all these people are nuts. But Jones, Tucker Carlson, and Candace Owen’s have been moving to the hardest fringes of the right, past MAGA even. They all have their own reasons but Owen’s is losing her mind because she thinks Charlie Kirk was a fated time traveler being monitored by the government, and Carlson is going full religious zealot and pointing out how our current government isn’t as religious as they present themselves. Long story short, many institutional far right wing influencers are the leopards eating the leopard eating face party.

Yep. It's to get people to say things like the other comment. Rogen and other MAGA grifters do it too. "He has actually been criticizing Trump lately." Which might be true about one comment in a cherry picked clip. But if you listen to their entire show it'll be mostly praising Trump. They just want to seem unbiased and it works on some people.

Pretty sure Jones is demented as well.

He's trolling for a paycheck: "Trump is demented".... -*here's some money, Alex, now STFU*.... "Trump is great".

I am convinced there's blackmail on him and he can't do shit. Listening to Knowledge Fight cover his interview the other day with Roger Stone, it's pretty clear he can't say shit to that guy. Don't get me wrong, I have zero respect for Alex Jones, but it comes across like he really wants to jump ship but can't at this point.

Ironically Two Face is like the only person that talks out of one side of their mouth

Good for you! Welcome to the shitshow ;)

THAT'S what caused you to break out that shit circle? Dude has been a POS for well over a decade at this point. He's one of the OG's of realising if you purposely chat absolute shit on the internet it can make you alot of money. He's always been a grifter, only self-interested in lining his own pockets at the expense of others. Similar to who you mentioned he supported to be fair...

I remember way back when he would have some unexplained stuff on his site and people would send me links. I think around 2012 he had Dave Mustaine from Megadeth on his show and someone sent me the link since I am a Megadeth fan and that's when I realized he was a f****** loon. They were talking about the FEMA death camps that Obama was building in Los Angeles. The proof? You could see the construction when taking off from LAX. Too bad he was talking about the old Surfridge neighborhood at the end of the runways.

So uh...do you subscribe to any other conspiracy nut cases? I have to assume he wasn't the only one.

It absolutely is not a circle. Very different beliefs on US foreign policy.

Imagine being a watcher of Alex jones and him actually convincing you sandy hook is fake. All right well enough some people have crazy beliefs, but then to take it a step further and start contacting the parents of those poor children? Saying they’re lying and acting and they never even had a kid That shit is just beyond evil. His fans are just as bad as him

I hope there is a bar in hell that only serves cat piss, and I hope Alex Jones has a permanent spot to stand in (no stools allowed).

Per the article: > Under the agreement, and with the support of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion will initially pay a monthly licensing fee to the court-appointed receiver overseeing InfoWars. Collins said the company has also signed a deal to purchase the full assets once the current judicial stay expires. The onion does not own it yet, but they do have the licensing agreement to take over the infowars brand. The Onion is not out of the woods on this yet, but they do seem to have a strong case to ultimately end up with the brand.

> The Onion outbid everybody else and bought it, Jones et al threw a temper tantrum, that has now been sorted out with the courts telling Jones' friends to choke on it. The Onion did not outbid Jones' friends. However, the families of the victims preferred the bid from The Onion and argued that accepting this bid would go further in making them whole than the other bid with its greater monetary value. Initially, this seemed to be sufficient for The Onion to win, but then a judge pulled the breaks on it. Now it seems that The Onion has worked out a licensing deal with the bankruptcy court that will still give them control over the IP. The families of the victims are on the side of The Onion, because they're not necessarily after as much money as they can get and would rather see Infowars to stop existing as a hate channel.
