The Onion, a satirical news site, said it has reached a deal to take over Infowars, the platform run by Alex Jones, in a move that could help Jones generate the funds needed to cover the more than $1 billion he owes to families of victims from the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.

“With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over Infowars,” Onion CEO Ben Collins posted Monday on Bluesky.
