Call it Twitter. Everyone knows what you mean, and it annoys Elon.
Call it X. Everyone knows what you mean and it really stirs shit up with people who are emotionally attached to the old brand name.

> The trustee selected the onion's offer despite it not being the highest. We do not know what the onion's bid was. We only have what Jones says it was. Until the actual hearing happens the exact details of what the onion offered are unknown. We do know they worked with the sandy hook parents and it stands to reason that they are leveraging their outstanding debts against jones to fund the purchase. The ONLY source o…
"At a court hearing Thursday afternoon in Houston, the trustee who oversaw the auction, Christopher Murray, acknowledged that The Onion did not have the highest bid but said it was a better deal overall because some of the Sandy Hook families agreed to forgo a portion of the sale proceeds to pay Jones’ other creditors." https://apnews.com/article/onion-buys-infowars-alex-jones-64...
Now, it is possible that the onion only bid $1.75M in which case there might be something to the claim. But, I doubt that's the case.

This seems like an incredible opportunity to see if it's possible to reprogram InfoWars readers away from the hate and the conspiracy theories. It would be a massive undertaking but wouldn't it be funny if the savior of modern media turned out to be a student newspaper from Madison, Wisconsin?
what is the difference, really, between the way the word "hate" is used now and the they the word "sin" was used 200 years ago?
The hate remains the same today, except now the “sin” is being gay, or getting raped, etc.

InfoWars audience is loyal only to Jones himself and will never visit InfoWars again. Jones will go elsewhere, 100% of his audience will follow, and the Onion is in for a big letdown. If you are dreaming about reprogramming Jone's followers by taking over InfoWars, it just shows that you know nothing about the typical InfoWars consumer.
How the parents of the Sandy Hook victims use their compensation is their business but I feel supporting advocacy for better mental health facilities in the USA would be a better use of the money.

Sealed bids is a perfectly normal way to do auctions though.
Changing the bidding process days in advance and then accepting the lower bid (out of two) seems less normal though. I think it's obvious they're trying to stop Jones and his associates from simply buying back the business. I'm not sure of the legal details but apparently the judge had misgivings about the procedure so here we are
In this case, the creditors are the Sandy Hook families who were wronged by Jones. It is my understanding that they had a hand in The Onion's offer. I suspect they signaled a desire for this sale to the trustee - but that is just a guess.

You are overestimating them. By far.
