#TheOnion #AlexJones #Infowars
I don't know if anybody can make infoWars a bigger parody than it has been for man, many years. But, if the anyone can, THE ONION can!! Finally some good news to help my shattered and fearful heart! When and where can I pre-subscribe?
The Onion is going to provide better facts that Infowars ever provided on its own.
than*^^ they didn’t even sell it to the highest bidder. They just sold it to the government on credit
Do you get any facts on MSNBC ? Wake up ,save yourself.
celebrating this is celebrating the silencing of free speech whether u agree with alot of the things alex jones had to say or not . this is simply a result of the far left lawfair machine using the legal system as their personal weapon against their political opponents and if alex jones is such a nut ball wack job then why are they so threatened by him and infowars that he built all by himself ? is this what we do in america now , take away a person's business because we disagree with their views and opinions ?
He was right more often than msnbc is...
derp
This is AWESOME!!
Are you referring to the red wave ? I agree it is awesome. At this stage, we might as well make Donald The Great King .
Even better is Alex has a new media company set to be bigger than the last.
its never awesome when a person's business and identity is taken away because one political party in america doesnt agree with what they have to say . this is a total violation of alex jones first amendment rights .
@@marleonetti7 Nope. There are always consequences for actions including free speech. He will pay for the deliberate and ongoing trauma he caused.
@@trevx3680 to who? the crisis actors?
check out the original footage champ. See if you walk away from Robbie Parker's interview or the McDonnell's and not feel something is way off. Iwas given the same challeng. it is insane
So now The Onion has skin in the game
No they don’t. They are the worst. Completely unfunny. This is a loss of a great opportunity.
For pure stupidity, Alex Jones was one of the few people in the world who could give Donald Trump a run for his money. It is a great day when Jones gets some of what's coming to him.
He wasn't stupid. He is a psychopath
how do you believe he "earned" this? who has he harmed? Who has he stolen from?
@billythegoat8634 harmed? Obviously the families are harmed you dork.
@@kurokaizen1889 by Alex Jones?
@kurokaizen1889 alex harmed them?
and suddenly, infowars is more credible than at any point in recent history..
Lies
@@realmontana6838 Prove that what the OP stated is a lie. I mean with verifiable and credible evidence instead of whatever horse manure that you pull from your bum or Jones ample bum.
It's OK Alex, Onions make a lot of people cry.
"the right uses humor..." what are you talking about?! They are the most humorless demographic out there
But why are we laughing and you crying ?
@@ItisOKtobewhite because that's not what's actually happening, except for in your imagination.
@@ItisOKtobewhite Because there is something wrong with you
@@ItisOKtobewhite Laugh while you can, Chuckles!
@@ItisOKtobewhite 1 - we arent crying.
2 - you are laughing at your own ignorance
Karmic justice can't be denied! In this life or the next ✨
I love The ONION ..KARMA Indeed👍
Alex jones already has a new media company set up....
sorry to hear that
@@MyName-cw4yr Then in a few years he'll be once again taken to court for his gross lying and spreading of fear and hate based on nothing but the fecal matter up his bum.
@@MyName-cw4yr We wait to see in a few years or so Jones once again in court for his gross lying and his spreading of it like the pig manure that it is.
@@MyName-cw4yr Then it will only be a matter of time that Jones is once again being sued for this grossly rabid lying.
This made me and my husband smile today...way to go! I love this.
this is why your uncle said you had nice Candy Van Eyes.
nice to see just a little opposite day in these days after 75m people lost their minds
Welcome to the real underground
As long as Trumpski and Muskov are in power the Onion will never run out of material.
Yes but they may get sued out of existence for making a illegitimate bid.
I love this for The Onion.
The right uses humor to its advantage more than the left? Are you joking? Dennis Miller, Rosanne Bar, Kid Rock, Ted Nugent -- who are you talking about? The right are the ones who are always falling for Onion articles! Get it straight Alex!
Too much Onion is making Alex cry like a wittle baby
Is he crying? Because I saw that his show is continuing on X. This was a waste of time and bad for freedom of speech.
If only this happened 3 to 6 months ago...
It's so scary because God is going to start getting the good ones
@@mikewhitman578 If Jones is your definition of one of "the good ones" the jury of his peers finding him guilty of bearing false witness against his neighbors very much contradicts your opinion.
This is BRILLIANT and I'm so glad to see Ben Collins at the head of this. He genuinely looks happier than I've ever seen him on here, I'm so used to seeing him reporting on the darkest depths of humanity that he saw online, and seeing him so happy like this is awesome. Thank you Ben, the Onion and Everytown for Gun Safety for giving us at least one thing we can smile about the next 4 years.
God truly has a sense of humor
Who is god? You are on the wrong page!

Best news of 2024 😆
Why not commission an artist to create an art piece with all those supplement pills?
Enjoy when you can, stay calm and win.
What a great move! Congrats, guys! Looking forward to the output
Of all the things which I would wish upon Jones, this would be one of the few which could be reported in polite company.
Using Alex Jones' own money to buy his network of hate and lies is poetic justice.
check out the original footage champ. See if you walk away from Robbie Parker's interview or the McDonnell's and not feel something is way off. Iwas given the same challeng. it is insane
It's not a legitimate bid, they can't use money that they do not have and the judge in the case stopped the sale.
Look at the magats crying over this dumazz HBHAHBAHBAAa
@@phoebus yawn
OOHH THAT IS WONDERFUL!! FROM SOMETHING EVIL( ALEX JONES) TURNED INTO SOMETHING WONDERFUL AND FOR GOOD AND POSITIVELY!! GOOD GOING EVERYONE!! WISH YOU ALL THE LUCK IN THE WORLD! 😊💓✌️🇺🇲💙
what makes Alex evil?
@@billythegoat8634 is he your hero?
@@billythegoat8634 He supports trump the RAYPIST!
BRAVO!!!👏👏👏🎉🎊💥
this is amazing
Yay. The Onion !
At first _everybody_ thought this story was from the Onion.
Yee Haw!
except the onion didn't buy it
Alex Jones for Trumps press secretary
I wonder if they keep all the stupid slop bucket and ED ads? It would be so fitting. 🤣
Inspiration I needed right now.
The Onion got nothing. Jones will not be silenced.
Yippee ki-yay Alex Jones
And then Alex seamlessly transitioned to a new website and Podcast on "X". He aint going anywhere but UP!
I enjoyed watching
Alex Jones show on X today.
♥️ the new studio.
God Bless America! 🇺🇸👍
Love it!!!
Every town for gun safety. What a joke.
Funny. Speaking of things being sold, how much is this network going for rn? Comcast needs to offload this soon.
Elon please buy MSNBC and play the J6 Truth Footage until all 40000hrs are shown
@@billythegoat8634 Tucker Carlson promised he would show all 40000 hours a couple of years ago. Maybe ask him as he as all the footage.
MSNBC will be listed on Craigslist.
Wow. A little bit of light during these dark times. LOL.
check out the original footage. See if you walk away from Robbie Parker's interview or the McDonnell's and not feel something is way off. I was given the same challenge. it is insane
1.5 billion for what should be protected speech is nonsense and casts doubt on the whole legal system.
You weren't singing that tune with sandman and CNN.
@@DL-fc2xt Alex was defaulted by the judge before the trial ever started and wasn't allowed to defend himself. CNN knew their story was a lie yet pushed it anyway. All Alex ever did was question if we were being told the truth about SH, big difference.
I would not like to go where Alex Jones is going. He just messed with Gods Children!
crisis actors.
check out the original footage. See if you walk away from Robbie Parker's interview or the McDonnell's and not feel something is way off. I was given the same challenge. it is insane
We should lobby Congress for an onion emoji. 🍑
This would be a good place to move that ""No Way to prevent this" says only country where this happens" article.
Let's watch the Onion to a reverse Elon on this one!
Aaaand your secret silent illegal auction has already been stopped by a judge.
Dang was that less than 48 hrs?
Finally the people of Sandy hooks families have gotten Justice, it has been a long time and they finally get peace. So they can have the right to grieve their children
And you wonder why people call you fake news…..
We’ll raise enough money for him to have a much larger platform. Just wait 🇺🇸❤️
LET THE OMNIVITAMIN BE A SUPPOSITORY
It's coming across a little weird how giddy our side is about this.
I mean not drinking horsemilk weird, but still weird.
I love this! Best wishes to the new owners and ad partner, and to everybody Alex Jones ever took malicious aim at.
Alex Balwin only had to do one thing to still be in business. Never mention Sandy Hook or talk about it. Why he tried to say it didn't happen is just crazy.
Baldwin? BALDWIN?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it's jones you silly billy
Justice is served!
With all those supplements, can you make Alex Jones Kumbaya candles please? LOL.
This is AMAZING
check out the original footage champ. See if you walk away from Robbie Parker's interview or the McDonnell's and not feel something is way off. Iwas given the same challeng. it is insane
Trump's picks that Big Government likes least. WE the Mandate should LIKE MORE!
One failed TV host appointing another as Secretary of Defence and a drug-addled paedo as AG. The US is the laughing stock of the entire world.
Alex Jones did this to himself. I hope this brings some peace to the families of the students and teachers that were lost that day. I love the Onion and love when various people online think it is real. It says in the title it’s satire and not real. I used to read Mad magazine as a kid and the Onion is a fav now as an adult
its a violation of his freedom of speech to take away his business and identity that he built his whole adult life , since when does our government have the right to take what belongs to us and give it to someone else just because whatever party is in power at the time does not agree with our point of view or the things we say ? this was not the sandyhook families doing this to jones , it was the left wing wackos we still have ruling over us right now .
check out the original footage. See if you walk away from Robbie Parker's interview or the McDonnell's and not feel something is way off. I was given the same challenge. it is insane
Yeah because money is definitely going to bring back their dead kids. The lawyers are the ones celebrating. Their cut is going to be massive. Also Alex already had a new media group set up. He's not going anywhere.
Can’t wait for Elon to buy this stupid station
I love that these guys are paying for their misinformation and lies
I just don't understand how Trump was able to get away with his lies
I want to see this same type of ironic karma justice for Trump
What happened to the cocaine in the White House? Who does it belong to?
fear and hate legacy canceled!
I The Onion buying it was a parody story from The Onion.
"Let the sink in, let the sink in!"
And to all misguided Jones supporters, here's a double middle finger as consolation prize.
THE Finger is on You as Jones only had 1.8 million listeners on his unowned Channels,Yes The Control of your FOOD, FUEL, FINANCES, FAMILY, FREEDOMS AND FIREARMS by the WEF/UN & Deep State Bankers & Hi Tech is A FEMA Camp fun Trip for All !
check out the original footage. See if you walk away from Robbie Parker's interview or the McDonnell's and not feel something is way off. I was given the same challenge. it is insane
@@billythegoat8634 ?? in English please...
The real prize was seeing his new media group get millions of viewers tuning in to his show today. Sorry, Alex isn't going anywhere.
I love it when a grifting conspiracy theorist who exploited the grief of bereaved families is held accountable.
One small win for sanity.
I can't wait for the New Infowars!!!
Let's hope they can buy Joe Rogans podcast as well. 😂
AUCTIONED OFF MUCH MSNBC?!?!?!?
Way to go Tim Onion!
Cosmic justice
This is so exciting!
All three of these people have no idea if they have a job tomorrow.
VERY FUNNY,as Alex only had 1.8 Million listeners Worldwide, The Onion Stinks ,Nice Try Guys !
@@johnblau5190 more than MSNBC even on election night
This is ugly.
...and become immortal. 🤣🤣🤣.
Karma will be the Onion folding.
I thought they already had. They are like the sandy hook actors bad at what they do and continual seem to have resources
Who's going to tell them? 🤭
INFOWARS without Alex ...serious.....thats a lot of money for some office furniture...guess you showed him
since he doesn't get the money - the families of Sandy Hook victims do - yes, they showed him.
@@katiekofemug check out the original footage. See if you walk away from Robbie Parker's interview or the McDonnell's and not feel something is way off. I was given the same challenge. it is insane Crisis Actors. And he gets his money. Everyone has already chipped in and he is good to go.
@@katiekofemug and did the sale include his voice..he will start over, move on and maintain his followers, and his garbage.when was this ever about the money...and why was it ever about the money...nothing changed and these idiots bought nothing
A lot more than office furniture. Onion now owns all his trademarks, copyrights, websites, & social media. And he still has more to pay.
Oh yeah, and people are leaving him in droves
@@gfystarshine leaving in droves, Kamala will win,..Biden is lucid..the one owner said it...we bought the onion 8 months ago so clearly know what we are doing...cant say I ever listened to a single jones opinion..but if you think his followers are leaving, you have started embracing your own baloney...onion will be gone in a year..
well, if they say a word about Trump, he will become the King right away, cause Gawd says so.
Sweet Dreams 😂
We, the audience, shouldn't have to pay by losing the show.
YOU peddle misinformation.
Alex Jones, among other titles, is a conspiracy theorist. Theories are not statements of facts. He got one wrong; I don't understand why that's a crime!
Oh yeah, itll be real popular
A judge has blocked the sale and deemed that the auction was conducted fraudulently. So as of right now the Onion HAS NOT bought anything.
Exactly correct. The Onion placed a bid with money they did not have and used a court appointed person to sneak it through over higher legitimate bids. IW was shut down over this fraudulent attempt and now The Onion may find themselves on the wrong end of a big lawsuit.
This is going to accomplish nothing 😂😂
It already has accomplished something. It’s made thousands, if not millions, of people smile.
@jameslewis8227
Okay....happiness is an emotion. Sure. Way to go.
But in function, this acquisition doesn't change anything.
Did you actually WATCH the video?? Maybe it just went over your head.
@@WhatsThatSound442
Looking down on contrarians.
Typical.
@@jameslewis8227 well let me fix that right now , TRUMP WON .
This is how The Onion wants to go out? Next to no one ferments who they even are. Why spend millions on something even more people will ignore?
This will just makes jones even more populat and all he will have to do is rebrand 😅. What a waste of money.
I can't wait to check out InfoCombat.
Grifters will grift. It is just a speeding ticket. Still, I'm glad his viewers money, is in the pocket of his victims.
@@DL-fc2xt Grifter? He has been uncovering things since Reagan. He did the exact same think poor or rich. check out the original footage. See if you walk away from Robbie Parker's interview or the McDonnell's and not feel something is way off. I was given the same challenge. it is insane
@@billythegoat8634believe me, I've heard all the conspiracies from the last 15 years. Just because you've been convinced, that doesn't make him a truther.
I bet you actually paid him for the Kool-Aid you drank, huh? 🤣The guy is just a steroid salesman, & you guys fall for it.
Roflmao!!
GOD BLESS ALEX JONES..ALL THAT HAPPENED IS HE MOVED DOWN THE STREET.HES STILL ON MARXISTS...LOL
SO FUNNY!!!!!!!!!!!! HAHBAHBAHBHBAHBAHBHABHABHBAHbahbahbhabhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
This is a joke of a joke. Go bother someone else
This isnt the win people think it is. The gloating in this news story will be the high point in this transaction.
thats right. remember, remember the fifth of November. Alex is just getting going. check out the original footage. See if you walk away from Robbie Parker's interview or the McDonnell's and not feel something is way off. I was given the same challenge. it is insane
@@billythegoat8634 Was that supposed to be in English?
Roflmao
😂😂😂 Alex is already busy telling the truth on his new channel. He is a one man army. Unstoppable. Cry some more . The winning will never get boring .
He is incapable of doing so when there are so many millions to be made from marks like you
@SteveConkie-t6r Like MSNBC marked you . SteveDonkie a true mark .
Glass Onion!! 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 BYE !
This should be interesting. Will the people who have been watching Infowars for years understand that it is an entirely different entity that looks and sounds the same? I doubt it. 2. The Onion buying Infowars is like Robin Hood taking over the Department of Corrections. It makes about as much sense.
ALEX had only 1.8 Million listeners on his Back Channels
@@johnblau5190 "only" 1.655 million viewers is MSNBC at its best with only 61,000 in prime demo. lol
jokes on the onion, they cant silent alex jones as hes already on X
I hope he's very loud. Infowars will report the news, I'm sure.
Social media competition 'Bluesky' has been able to peel off 20 million users since its launch in February 2024. THOSE people aren't caring about Jones, so his audience will be that much smaller. It's only the start of his influencer demise.
🤣
Anyone with more than half a brain cell has fled X. Enjoy your Russian disinformation bubble courtesy of Elonia.
