From NPR.

Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones is vowing to fight a new deal that would allow the satirical website, “The Onion,” to take over Jones’ far-right media company, Infowars. If approved by a Texas judge, the deal would force Jones out of his Infowars studio and turn Infowars into a parody of itself.

The deal is backed by the families of those killed in the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, who sued Jones for defamation after he spread lies that the families faked the deaths of their children to boost support for gun control. Jones immediately accused “The Onion” of trying to steal his identity — and asked his followers to help support his fight by buying what he said may be his last run of Infowars merch.
