Infowars Sold: The Onion Wins (Satire)

Austin, TX – In a stunning turn of events, the satirical news website The Onion has acquired the conspiracy theory platform Infowars, marking a historic moment in the battle against misinformation.

The purchase, announced in a press release titled "The Onion Announces Acquisition of Infowars; Now Featuring 'The Alex Jones Show: Just Kidding' Segment," has sent shockwaves through the media landscape. While financial details of the deal remain undisclosed, sources claim it involved a single, highly convincing fake news story about a secret society of lizard people controlling the world government.

"We're thrilled to welcome Infowars to the Onion family," stated Onion editor-in-chief, Chad N. "We've always admired their commitment to outrageous, yet completely unfounded claims. We believe that under our guidance, Infowars can reach its full potential as a source of pure, unadulterated humor."

The acquisition comes after years of controversy surrounding Infowars and its founder, Alex Jones. Jones, known for peddling conspiracy theories about Sandy Hook Elementary School, 9/11, and the government's alleged use of mind control, has been a consistent target of public criticism and legal action.

Under the new ownership, Infowars will undergo a complete rebranding. The website will feature a new tagline – "Truth is a Joke" – and will focus on satirical news stories that satirize the absurdity of conspiracy theories. The "Alex Jones Show" will be renamed "The Alex Jones Show: Just Kidding," featuring Jones presenting his theories in a comedic and self-aware manner.

"I'm so excited to be part of The Onion," said Jones in a statement that is almost certainly not real. "It's always been my dream to use my talents to make people laugh. I can't wait to share my unique brand of humor with the world."

The acquisition of Infowars by The Onion is a significant victory for those fighting against the spread of misinformation. It marks a turning point in the fight against fake news and highlights the power of satire to expose the absurdity of conspiracy theories.

While some may doubt the sincerity of The Onion's intentions, one thing is clear – the future of Infowars looks a lot funnier.
