Here’s Why I Decided To Buy ‘InfoWars’ By Bryce P. Tetraeder, Global Tetrahedron CEO ☞ https://theonion.com/heres-why-i-decided-to-buy-infowars/
And let me say, I really do see it as a family. Much like family members, our brands are abstract nodes of wealth, interchangeable assets for their patriarch to absorb and discard according to the opaque whims of the market. And just like family members, our brands regard one another with mutual suspicion and malice.
🤣
The Onion’s first headline needs to be:
“Oh Shit! It’s ALL true!”
Will anyone visiting know the difference?
Probably depends on whether they see a difference between intentional and unintentional satire.
The onion is a satirical takes on the news. Infowars is just utter nonsense.
Infowars could claim that immigrants are using teleporters to enter the country and its readership would believe it.
Yeah, that’s my point. The idiots visiting it won’t get satire.
Remember Stephen Colbert’s satire? Conservatives loved him.
Satire of something already completely outlandish is problematic.
What problem did that cause? It only made everyone else laugh at them harder.
You could accidentally create new conspiracies, that people legitimately believe.
I don’t think that ever happened with Colbert, did it?
People’s definitely agreed with and used his lines of argument, even though he intended them humorously. I don’t know if he put out any conspiracy theories.
I just don’t think the people who believed him and used his lines of argument were taken seriously either except by people who were already in their bubble and weren’t going to come out.
I’m too tired to make this witty but something about it leading to the MAGA movement being a bubble
What was the “gut” thing again?

it’s when there are problems
LoL, AJ lost the Info War. 🤣👍
Its also exactly the kind of thing you’d expect to read about in the onion.
This is beyond mear irony.
I hope they keep Alex Jones’s communism financing operation going.
The Onion buys rightwing conspiracy theory site Infowars with plans to make it ‘very funny, very stupid’
They’re halfway there already.
Musk just had a judge in Texas say they’re going to review the bid. I guess we know who the other bidder was now.
Do they have rights to use Jones’ likeness, in the sense of reposting old clips and the like?
They said they have everything.
This should be good…
How could you tell the difference?
Honestly, I would love for them to turn it into just a bastion of info. Just detail the goings-on of the current government.
I look forward to seeing Jean Teasdale as the editor and Jim Anchower cruising again.
My favorite part of this:
…Collins said that “part of the reason we did bought InfoWars is because people on Bluesky told us it would be funny to buy InfoWars” adding that “those people were right” this “is the funniest thing that has ever happened”.
That also sounds like the kind of prank that Cards Against Humanity would pull if they had access to as much cash. I love this so much.
Honestly, considering how much of a clown Alex Jones was, they have their work cut out for them if they want to compete at comedic levels!
Either way, this may be the best news I’ve heard all year, thank you!
I wonder if this gives them the rights to all of Infowars’ library of footage. Maybe they could “keep” Jones as a host by cutting up old clips kinda how South Park did with Isaac Hayes for Chef’s last episode.
Up for grabs at the auction were Infowars production rights and materials, the Infowars store, domain names, production equipment and other assets — including a Terradyne armored truck and a Winnebago motor home — that can be purchased in their entirety or in parts, according to the firm, ThreeSixty Asset Advisors. Jones broadcasts from the Austin, Texas, area.
Considering what The Onion has been able to do with manipulating video for the sake of comedy, I can’t wait to see what they do with any of their footage.
I’ll take the middle third of the Winnebago, just carve it out and drop it on Nick Fuentes’ lawn, thanks.
The “shitter’s full” third I hope.
I hope they own Jones’ likeness to the point where they can give DJs the rights to remix his shouts into something of value.
Train an AI model to produce new shows with him as the host
This just in! I’m turning my frickin’ self gay! I’m selling the supplements that will get you there too! The deep state wants to control us! NO MORE! You’re not gonna get my frickin’ dna to fight in your wars! You’re not gonna push us around!
eats handful of supplements
These Pro-homoerotics are literally the best on the market. I just now took them and I already want to tear my clothes off and throw the cameraman on this table!
Help support InfoWars and fight the deep state! I can’t do this without you guys and now I want to do you guys!
