Editorialized title. It has a plan to take over that will need approval. Lots of non-paywalled coverage that would be better links, eg: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/apr/20/the-onion-al... See previous discussion linked in sibling as well.

I hope Dan and Jordan can get the desk like they've always wanted.

I'm concerned they won't know what to do without Alex. Already going back over shows from 2006...

Turning into an odd form of a take over. Basically renting it for 3 months to let Tim Heidecker do a few shows??

A million dollars a year for... what? A gag that fans of infowars won't watch, and there aren't enough anti-fans to appreciate? It feels personal at this point.

Because it's funny that The Onion will be taking over InfoWars.
