The Onion has won the bid for Infowars' assets
Satirical news site The Onion won the auction to acquire conspiracy
theorist Alex Jones' Infowars, which was sold off as part of a
defamation settlement after he falsely called the Sandy Hook
Elementary School massacre a hoax.
The Onion's bid was backed by the families of eight victims of the
school shooting and one first responder. It also will have an
exclusive advertising deal with the gun control group Everytown for
Gun Safety. CNN was first to report the humor web site had entered the
bidding.
But a federal judge in Texas ordered a hearing into how the Onion -
known for bite - won the bidding, after Jones and his lawyers raised
questions about how the auction was conducted.
