Satire magazine The Onion purchased right-wing propaganda outlet InfoWars.

Nick Heer comments on Pixel Envy:

The CEO may be fake, but this is real: the Onion bought InfoWars with the assistance of the families of Sandy Hook victims. The relaunched site will be supported by Everytown for Gun Safety. What a perfect, full-circle kind of outcome to dilute the influence of one of the worst figures in media.

Congratulations to Collins on being the proud owner of InfoWars’ assets, legally speaking. Given the hosts’ predilection for heavy drinking and indoor smoking, I bet the studio reeks

Well funny that, but what impact have such stunts? A new InfoWars that satires itself will likely be read by people on the left of the spectrum, whereas Alex Jones’ disciples will just look wherever he blares his garbage next? Isn’t the media circus around the purchase just reminding people to find an InfoWars alternative so they can do “their own research?”
