The satirical news site intends to turn Infowars into a parody of itself. But the court overseeing the bankruptcy put a hold on the sale pending a hearing next week.

The sale to the satirical news site ends Jones’s 25-year run controlling the conspiracy theorist website that peddled claims the Sandy Hook school shooting was a “hoax.”

For once, the “funniest possible outcome” is not an exaggeration. The Onion, the satirical news website that started as a newspaper in the 1980s, says it won a bankruptcy auction to acquire InfoWars, the fringe right-wing website founded in 1999 and run by conspiracy theorist Alex Jones.
