Onion plots six-month licensing to parody Infowars with court approval

Satirical site The Onion has proposed a six-month licensing arrangement to publish its own parody content on Infowars’ platforms, a plan requiring court approval after a prior bid to buy Infowars was rejected. The move comes as Infowars faces liquidation following a defamation ruling against Alex Jones related to the Sandy Hook massacre. Jones says he will fight the proposal, while The Onion says profits would go to the Sandy Hook families if approved and envisions creating characters to lampoon conspiracy-theory personalities.
