In an unexpected turn of events, The Onion has acquired the controversial Infowars media outlet.
The sale's financial details remain undisclosed, but the acquisition marks a pivotal transition for Infowars, which has been widely criticized for disseminating false information regarding the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. Jones, who has been held liable for spreading misinformation about the victims, filed for bankruptcy after being ordered to pay $1.5 billion in damages to the victims' families.
Founded by Jones in 1999, Infowars made headlines for its sensationalist take on news but has since faced significant backlash and legal challenges. Despite the sale, Jones has indicated his intention to continue his broadcasting efforts on a different platform.
