The Onion launches new bid to take over Alex Jones’ Infowars and turn it into a parody platform

The satirical news outlet The Onion has a new plan to take over conspiracy theorist Alex Jones’ Infowars platforms and turn them into parodies. Under a proposal submitted to a Texas judge on Monday, The Onion would be granted a temporary license to the intellectual property of Infowars’ parent company. That would allow The Onion to post its own content on the Infowars platforms. Jones is vowing to fight the plan in court. His company is facing liquidation because of the more than $1 billion in defamation judgments he owes relatives of victims of the 2012 Sandy Hook school shooting for calling the massacre in Connecticut a hoax.
