TL;DR Summary

Satirical outlet The Onion has reached a deal to take over Alex Jones’ Infowars, contingent on court approval. The Onion would pay a monthly licensing fee to the court-appointed receiver and purchase the full assets after the current judicial stay expires, in a move tied to paying more than $1 billion in damages owed to Sandy Hook families. The new Infowars would operate as a digital platform and comedy network led by Tim Heidecker, with content satirizing Jones and other media figures; a Texas hearing is set for April 30.
