I'm honestly not sure if this is real or if the Onion is doing performance art at this point, but either way Jones getting pushed out of Infowars after all those Sandy Hook lawsuits is genuinely satisfying.

The Onion buying Infowars is peak satire becoming indistinguishable from reality, not a glitch, just the 2020s speedrun.

Wake up, the guys in black SUVs probably orchestrated this whole thing to silence Jones before he exposed too much about the flat earth coverup.

It'd be funnier if we still had real news organizations doing actual reporting instead of satire becoming the only thing people trust.

Wait, so is this actually happening or is this the Onion doing a bit about themselves? Because if they actually bought Infowars that's genuinely the funniest possible outcome to this whole saga.
