At long last, InfoWars is ours

Article

• The Onion acquires rights to operate InfoWars via licensing deal with court-appointed manager
• Previous bankruptcy sale was blocked; new plan licenses site from Gregory Milligan
• Deal backed by Sandy Hook families; goal is preventing Jones from causing harm at scale
• Site rebranded as “Global Tetrahedron” under Onion’s satirical management

Discussion

• @pogue/@burkaman: deal not final; judge must still approve — article jumps the gun
• @jmward01: transition may be undetectable since real InfoWars already looked satirical
• @netcan: quotes Onion’s bit about “democratizing psychological torture” — called hilarious
• @contextfree: notes logo is a dodecahedron, not tetrahedron — presumably intentional
