Satirical publication The Onion, with the support of Sandy Hook families, purchased the bankrupt site of conspiracy theorist Alex Jones.

The Onion, a satirical news publication, won the bid for Infowars thanks in part to the backing of families of Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims, whom Jones owes more than $1 billion in defamation judgments. Among the assets The Onion acquired are Infowars' website, social media accounts and its studio in Austin, Texas.
