Great idea. Who didn't like the Colbert Report? Could turn out like a right-wing populist Repor!
But he's got a serious side. You know what those globalists are doing...
Its also exactly the kind of thing you'd expect to read about in the onion.
This is beyond mear irony.
Best news I've seen in weeks
Do they have rights to use Jones' likeness, in the sense of reposting old clips and the like?
Wait, what? Which parts of this are satire now? I read the Onion piece that Global Tetrahedron was purchasing InfoWars, but this is a Guardian story saying The Onion is purchasing it? I'm a bit confused.
It's not satire, they are purchasing it for real.
The Onion buys rightwing conspiracy theory site Infowars with plans to make it ‘very funny, very stupid’
They're halfway there already.
Does this mean they're Alex Jones's boss now?
Makes sense. They keep him contained somewhere to ramble, while appropriately inducted and vetted comedians interpret, neutralize and transmit his bullshit and make it funny.
An oracle of comedy situation.
I mean, it’s already half way there, all they got to do is make it funny
This should be good...
Next week's headlines "Alex Jones appointed as Secretary of State" or some other wackass shit.
That pushed me over the edge to subscribe to the print edition
I thought that was a joke. But regular news sites are running the story. So maybe it's real?
It's real. Their new owner is very rich and doesn't give a fuck
I saw a TikTok of Alex crying about it. It is real.
That's really amazing. Their joke article was hilarious even as a joke. But the fact that they really bought it is beautiful.
It took me a while to realize this is actually true. Reality is amazing.
How could you tell the difference?
