I hope they do what the Colbert Report did, keep the inforwars name and let it be a right wing lampooning.

I love this so much. It's perfect!

Is this what being on drugs is like in normal times?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

I will gladly eat that onion.

As a policy wonk I feel that this was the correct buyer. Damn, it couldn't be funnier. The Onion now owns Alex Jones' former twitter account.

Love to see it!

It would be great if The Onion could use this site to help grow an information platform to counter the Rights enormous disinformation network. And using satire or jokes can maybe break through the noise of main stream media who always treat the fascists with kid gloves.

LFG!

I wonder if they would be willing to gift the desk to Knowledge Fight...? I know Dan has wished he could get his hands on that for a long time.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

Thats a great idea! I was thinking the QAnon Anonymous podcast folks would be great for conspiracy deep dives. They already are but on infowars that would be perfect 🤌

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago

Hell, they could full on partner up

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 month ago

That was my first thought as well! Just gift something from the set to Knowledge Fight.

My absolute favorite part of this is that they also own his supplement business now.

[–] [email protected] 43 points 1 month ago (4 children)

His supplement business was under the same business ownership? That's preposterously stupid and hilarious.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm not exactly shocked he was that stupid, but yeah, that made me laugh the hardest.

I spent about ten minutes trying to figure out if this was just an Onion headline ..... only to realize it is indeed an Onion headline ... this is beautiful

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Everything about this brings me joy. I was hoping it would be Cards Against Humanity, but the more I think about it, the more I think this is even better.
