The Onion Moves Forward With Infowars Takeover Amid Site Going Dark

Infowars.com briefly went offline as The Onion presses a bankruptcy-backed plan to take control and relaunch Infowars as a satire-enabled platform, with a Texas appeals court pausing access during the process and upcoming hearings set for May 28. The move is supported by Sandy Hook families, who have pursued damages against Alex Jones, while Jones continues to post elsewhere under the Infowars name. The case represents a high-profile effort to reshape or shutter the right-wing outlet through a licensing and potential sale arrangement.
