there is a lot of stuff funnier than things that did not happen.

onion may be making a merchandise, but they did not take over anything, so far... they have a plan to rent the domain for 6 months, it now depends on a texas judge... so far the infowars is still full of alex jones' shit, as everyone can verify by typing that address into browser.

it is fascinating how people are willing to shout nonsense that is not true, as long as they like the nonsense... cool (mis)info war 😂

Wait the onion actually got InfoWars?

I thought that infamous Texas court overruled and sold it back to Jones?

Nope, they tried. But it turned out that Infowars had so few assets that when the Onion said they'd keep it running and pay royalties to the plaintiffs, that made them the best offer.

You reached the end

Nothing is funnier than The Onion taking over Infowars and making rainbow merchandise. | Spyke
