What an evil piece of shit. I cannot wait to take over.

What an evil piece of shit. I cannot wait to take over.

A visibly toasted Alex Jones, surrounded by his crew, says "they" are going to turn off the power at midnight at the Infowars studio. "Until then we're going to air hours of Sandy Hook documentation."

Why this move signals the end of Jones' media empire
The planned takeover marks a major turning point in Jones' long-running defiance of court orders and public backlash. Infowars has remained operational during bankruptcy proceedings because it was deemed more profitable for creditors to keep it running. However, the transfer of control to The Onion would strip Jones of his primary platform, signaling a collapse of the empire he built on conspiracy-driven content. Houston Chronicle + 1

Alex Jones renews Sandy Hook lies as Infowars faces takeover
Alex Jones has doubled down on false claims about the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting just days before a court could approve The Onion’s takeover of Infowars. The satirical outlet plans to lease the site, share profits with victims’ families, and rebrand it for comedic programming. Jones, facing over $1 billion in defamation judgments, has vowed to fight the plan while continuing to target the families who sued him.

The Onion pushes forward with Infowars takeover plans
The Onion has announced it will lease Infowars from a court-appointed manager for about $81,000 per month, with profits shared with Sandy Hook families. The satirical outlet has already launched merchandise featuring a redesigned Infowars logo and parody products, and plans to rebrand the site for 'weird, artful, cool comedy.' CEO Ben Collins confirmed comedian Tim Heidecker will serve as creative director, with programming to include satirical investigations and independent comedians. The takeover could occur as soon as May 1, pending court approval. Houston Chronicle + 1

On second thought, I could make an exception for Alex Jones. At least when The Onion takes over, the headlines will be more fact based.

C’mon, Alex, you must have a blood clot in there somewhere.

Because as long as there's a mouth or a phone or an internet connection, he's never gonna shut up.
