Judge Blocks The Onion's Bid to Acquire Infowars
TL;DR
A bankruptcy judge has rejected The Onion's bid to acquire Alex Jones' Infowars in a bankruptcy auction, citing issues with the auction process. The satirical news site had planned to relaunch Infowars after winning the bid last month, following a $1.4 billion defamation judgment against Jones in favor of Sandy Hook families. The Onion offered $1.75 million, but a company linked to Jones bid $3.5 million. The decision disappointed both The Onion and the Sandy Hook families, who seek accountability from Jones.
