The Onion Acquires InfoWars

The Onion has purchased the assets of InfoWars from bankruptcy court, a move that initially sounds more like satire than reality. The Onion plans to relaunch InfoWars with a new focus on humor, aiming to draw in the original audience and convert their anger into laughter. This approach raises questions about how well the comedic style can resonate with a community that has primarily engaged with InfoWars for its politically charged content. While some see potential in this pivot, others express confusion about how to merge the legacy of InfoWars with The Onion’s comedic ethos.
