Maybe it's just me but I don't see much humor in this. His brand and assets may have been liquidated, but he's still doing his show and it remains popular. The only people who really won in this saga are, as usual, the lawyers.

The reason InfoWars is being sold is because of the bankruptcy proceedings. This is money owed to Sandy Hook families [1], who were the target of the harmful conspiracy theories that caused them further pain and suffering.

Well there is exactly one truth.

Sure. But one cannot claim to know have an infallible insight into what that truth is.

Trump does, why can't he too?

If thats true, seems like it is 10000x more critical they purchase right to the infowars hiltler cloning facilities and features

Exactly. Buying would at least mean you aren't revamping the value of the site for some next renter in a deeply cynical age where making fun of the orange pedo at a press club ball could cause WWIII.

The money goes to Jones's judgment creditors from Sandy Hook. If not The Onion, it would be some actual right wing media organization...

Do you think there is an acceptable third option between "the globalists winning" and "it is OK for a single media outlet to wage a war on the grieving parents of the victims of a mass murder"?

Who cares what exogany says about it when actual juries have ruled on the matter?

I thought the entire point of all of this was that I no longer needed to care what Alex Jones thinks about literally anything.

It was barely funny when I read the headline a few years ago. Really weird story, I guess I just don't understand the humor at all. I'd rather stop hearing about InfoWars entirely.

The Onion's humor is like that drawing of the angry crying guy wearing a laughing face mask. It's only "funny" if you're pissed off about something.
