    Its not not the onion.

    I for one welcome my new info lords. Hopefully god keeps telling the new host what time it is in the everlasting war to fight the 2% of globalist oligarchs who are against police states and the republican party.

    The article itself is satirical, but it’s reporting on a real event — that The Onion has just reached an agreement to buy InfoWars. It’s maybe marginal for the community, but this is basically the only time that one gets to have a single article on both The Onion and Not The Onion — the initial attempt some time back, which fell through, made it to both — so I couldn’t resist.

    EDIT: For good measure, link to NPR’s coverage.

      Jones implored his audience to help support his fight by acting fast and buying up what he said may be Infowars’ last run of new merch.

      Alex Jones grifting to the bitter end.
