Oh my god what a power move. More power to them, seriously. Best outcome we could have gotten
Lol I am so happy about this.
They should run it like it was. Then in about a year, just subtly start changing the context. Then before you know it, they are going to start supporting progressive topics.
Honestly, I would love for them to turn it into just a bastion of info. Just detail the goings-on of the current government.
THEY TURNED THE FREAKIN FROG GAY!!!!!!!
ITS NOT FUNNY!!!
This just made my day
This is the best thing that's ever happened
Who did they give money to? Maybe it would've been better if they just created a offbrand infowars.

This is fucking hilarious, best news I've heard in forever.
Wait, is it real?
Musk just had a judge in Texas say they're going to review the bid. I guess we know who the other bidder was now.
