Leftist MS NOW host Rachel Maddow jumped on the fake news bandwagon Monday, falsely claiming The Onion satirists had bought and now own Infowars.com.
Via The Rachel Maddow Show Monday:
Well, you may remember about a year and a half ago, we learned that the surprise winner of an auction of InfoWars assets was the satirical news site The Onion, for which Alex Jones and InfoWars would, of course, be a delicious punchline.
The Onion would turn InfoWars into a parody of itself. Stop it from doing more harm. Start maybe repairing some of the harm that it’s done. You might also remember, though, that almost as soon as The Onion got a hold of InfoWars, they lost it again. Alex Jones challenged the auction. It’s been tied up in court ever since. But then today, a breakthrough.
This is the front page of The Onion tonight. Look, The Onion, InfoWars. You can see the top story in the upper left there. At long last, InfoWars is ours. You see the InfoWars logo with the Onion for the O in info on the upper right-hand side of the screen. The Onion today announced that pending final approval by a judge, they have reached an arrangement to actually truly take over InfoWars.
Maddow also interviewed Onion CEO and ex-NBC disinfo czar Ben Collins, a former contributor, who again lied claiming he rightfully won Infowars in 2024, despite a federal bankruptcy judge striking down the sale over shady auction practices.
I do want people to remember that it was nine days after the election, the 2014 election [sic], where we saw the burning building known as the Infowars Auction and walked directly into it, knowing that likely no one else but Alex Jones is going to bid on that thing. And we won that auction and then it was, you know, held up in court for reasons we still, no one understands.
And, um, you know, for 17 months, we were threatened by Alex Jones with the long arm of the Trump government, where he had a lot of friends. And, um, you know, thankfully these families, my staff, Everybody saw it through, and we’re about to take over this thing and do something really fun.
Actually, The Onion didn’t have the highest bid, as admitted by Jones’ US court-appointed trustee during a hearing after the auction. Here’s the AP:
At a court hearing Thursday afternoon in Houston, the trustee who oversaw the auction, Christopher Murray, acknowledged that The Onion did not have the highest bid but said it was a better deal overall because some of the Sandy Hook families agreed to forgo a portion of the sale proceeds to pay Jones’ other creditors.
Furthermore, Collins’ claim that “no one understands” why the first auction was shelved is also a lie, as reporting at the time noted US Bankruptcy Judge Christopher Lopez was “angry” over the lack of transparency in the sale, and ordered an evidentiary hearing saying, “No one should feel comfortable with the results of this auction.”
Now, Collins is once again declaring, “We’ve taken over the Infowars studio and the IP and the website and all that stuff” – none of which is true – Alex Jones is still broadcasting out of the Infowars studio and Infowars.com is still his and active.
Despite initial efforts to seize Alex Jones’ empire failing in a spectacularly humiliating fashion – to the point that Collins says he had to take anti-depressants – The Onion and their Democrat backers are once again having the media falsely claim they own Infowars.
