The Onion’s acquisition of Infowars was blocked by a judge


The Onion’s fight still isn’t over.

In a ruling on Tuesday, a Texas bankruptcy judge rejected The Onion ’s purchase of the conspiracy-ridden website founded by Alex Jones, according to a report from The New York Times. It had the support of the families of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims, who successfully sued Jones for more than $1 billion for spreading false claims. Despite this roadblock, Global Tetrahedron still intends to pursue an acquisition of InfoWars, with the goal of replacing the site with “a relentless barrage of humor for good.”
