The Onion buys rightwing conspiracy theory site Infowars with plans to make it ‘very funny, very stupid’ (www.theguardian.com)

Here’s Why I Decided To Buy ‘InfoWars’ By Bryce P. Tetraeder, Global Tetrahedron CEO ☞ https://theonion.com/heres-why-i-decided-to-buy-infowars/

And let me say, I really do see it as a family. Much like family members, our brands are abstract nodes of wealth, interchangeable assets for their patriarch to absorb and discard according to the opaque whims of the market. And just like family members, our brands regard one another with mutual suspicion and malice.

Where is Alex Jones on now?

Hasn't Trump appointed him head of media relations, or something equally as stupid?

If Alex Jones becomes press secretary, I'll be convinced that this is all a simulation.

I would love that. The only person on earth less coherent than Trump. Imagine the memes we would get out of that.
