And finally, the most chucklesome story in a week that’s been light on laughs: Our @NewsDesk reported on The Onion’s acquisition of Infowars, which its founder was forced to sell after being successfully sued by the families of Sandy Hook victims. “They are a true unicorn, capable of simultaneously inspiring public support for billionaires and stoking outrage at an inept federal state that can assassinate JFK but can’t even put a man on the Moon,” said CEO Bryce P. Tetraeder in a statement.
Here’s @AssociatedPress’s story on the takeover, which includes not just the site, but the social media presence, video archives, trademarks, and even Jones’ studio in Austin, Texas.
