Onion CEO Ben Collins Hasn't Given Up on Print—or Buying Infowars

Infowars was for sale at auction because Alex Jones was successfully sued for a billion dollars by two sets of families—one in Texas, one Connecticut—that he had [defamed] for saying that the Sandy Hook [school shooting] was completely synthetic and didn't actually happen. I don't want to give an exact number just yet for several reasons, but we can fill three Madison Square Gardens with the amount of people who subscribe to the newspaper. What's shocking to me, to be real with you, is that apparently I was working for a bunch of people at all these journalism places all this time where they had limits at which they would stop telling the truth.
