The Onion Plans a Satirical Takeover of Infowars With Tim Heidecker At The Helm
TL;DR Summary
The Onion has struck a licensing deal to relaunch Infowars as a comedy site under its leadership, with Tim Heidecker named as creative director. Global Tetrahedron will license Infowars.com for $81,000 a month for six months (with an option to renew), pending approval from a Texas judge. Jones reacted angrily on social media, while lawyers for the Sandy Hook families say the deal could significantly undermine his platform. If approved, the Onion-backed Infowars would feature parody content and a rebranded online presence following a two-year effort to seek justice for the families.
