Finally some good news:

The fate of #FarRight website #Infowars will be controlled by #theOnion after the satirical news site emerged as the winning bidder of Wednesday’s private auction of the #media company founded by #conspiracy theorist #AlexJones.

@Nonilex this is good news. It'll be interesting to see what they do with it.

Here is corroboration from the AP (no paywall) in case anyone was wondering if this was Onion satire. apnews.com/article/onion-buys-

@Nonilex

a long time ago, you could tell the difference between satire and conspiracy theory

satire was zany and conspiracy theory was quaint and harmless: "UFOs? ok, mmm"

then you couldn't tell the difference, they were equally absurd. "they're making the frogs gay!" "da fuq?"

then you could, conspiracy theory was vicious disinfo agendas (sandy hook lies)

then you couldn't, conspiracy theory *literally purchased by satire*

this is one weird story arc

worthy of... the onion

Fuck the Washing Post obviously but this is an amazing story and the editorial on TheOnion is perfect.
