The Onion reaches deal to take over Infowars platform

The Onion has agreed to license the Infowars name and website from Infowars' court-appointed manager, moving to operate the platform under a satirical model. The licensing deal comes amid Alex Jones' mounting legal and financial pressure, including multiple defamation judgments and active efforts to collect against his assets. If a court approves the license, The Onion would gain control of the site's name and content rights, allowing it to relaunch Infowars as explicit satire and potentially cut off the platform's remaining revenue streams tied to Jones.
