Onion Buys Infowars from Jones: A Satirical Take on a Strange Chapter

It's official: The Onion, America's finest news source, has purchased Alex Jones's conspiracy-laden website, Infowars, in a move that's raising eyebrows and a whole lot of laughter.

The news, which broke earlier today, sent shockwaves through the internet, leaving many wondering: "Wait, the Onion is actually buying something?"

This satirical purchase isn't just a random act of humor. It's a pointed commentary on the state of modern media, where truth gets twisted and lies get peddled for profit.

The Onion's CEO, who remains anonymous for obvious reasons, stated the acquisition is "a strategic move to expand our reach into the lucrative market of misinformation."

"We've always been at the forefront of satire," the CEO continued, "and this purchase allows us to offer our readers a more authentically absurd experience. No longer will they have to rely on Alex Jones's... creative interpretations of reality. Now, they can get it straight from the source."

The Onion plans to keep the Infowars platform running, but with a subtle twist. Instead of promoting unfounded claims about lizard people or chemtrails, the site will now feature "factual" articles on topics like:

• "The Moon Landing Was Faked By The Onion."
• "Aliens Exist, But Only To Sell Us Inferior Products."
• "The CIA Is Running A Secret Program To Replace All Bananas With Avocados."

While the Onion's intentions are clear – to poke fun at the absurdity of the situation – the acquisition has sparked mixed reactions. Some applaud the move as a clever commentary on the media landscape. Others worry that it will only legitimize Infowars's questionable content.

Ultimately, only time will tell if this purchase will be a triumph of satire or a flop for the Onion. One thing's for sure though: it's certainly more entertaining than watching Alex Jones try to defend himself in a courtroom.

Stay tuned for more updates on this story – and remember, if you see anything on Infowars that seems too outlandish to be true, it probably is.
