The Onion Buys Infowars

[IdeomotorPrisoner]

Well, it looks like The Onion has won the bid; infowars.com is currently offline.

It sort of feels like the end of an era. Where will we get our Bone Broth? I bought their nascent iodine supplement once; it was pretty good.

This is the sale that cried wolf. I had to check just to make sure it wasn't a satire story itself. Everyone's picking it up though.

Took The Onion 90 minutes upon completion of sale to shutter the site, which doesn't need a court order.

They bought it to shut it down, maybe it was patriotism?

GOOD RIDDANCE. He may have earned getting canceled for making the world as paranoid and broken as him, the clock that was right twice.

He became pot committed over a story connected to his ego and a refusal to back down, and they financially shut him up... for abusing grief and selling a paranoid line of reasoning that slowly bled the critical thinking from many a listener/viewer.

But that's not why he deserved it. Free speech alone can't cause harm or single people out and publicly defame them.

It's like if you go to the service of a girl killed by a drunk driver and start yelling, "The family made it all up. There was no daughter killed, no accident! Thats not even a real body in that casket! They deceptively staged this all to play on your sympathy and get you to support their anti-drunk driving agenda."

You'd deserve to get your ass kicked for that. Publish it in media and we'll see you in court.

It also reminds me of that guy that fought to keep his "Virginia 'EAT THE' children first" license plate. When he finally lost his battle they sent him a plate reading "6668UUP"

And it's pretty much true, to a much more financially impactful extent, the "devil ate you up," Alex Jones.

C'est le vie to his contribution.
