The Onion aims to take over Alex Jones' Infowars, seeking to transform it into a satirical platform. A Texas judge is set to review the proposal amidst ongoing legal battles involving Jones and Sandy Hook victims' families.

Right-wing conspiracist Alex Jones said his infamous Infowars platform has stopped broadcasting and shuttered its Austin headquarters.

Jones has now successfully “temporarily derailed” The Onion’s licensing deal to take over Infowars, Heidecker said on Thursday night.
