The Onion’s purchase of Infowars under review after Alex Jones and his lawyers complain

Source: CBC News [Canadian state media]

“The Onion’s winning bid for Alex Jones’s Infowars platform is under review by a U.S. federal bankruptcy judge after Jones and his lawyers complained about how an auction was conducted. The satirical news outlet was announced as the winning bidder on Thursday in an auction that is part of Jones’s personal bankruptcy. … At a hastily called court hearing in Houston on Thursday, Judge Christopher Lopez ordered another hearing to be held next week. He wants to know what happened with the auction and how the bankruptcy trustee chose The Onion over the only other bidder — a company affiliated with a Jones product-selling website.” (11/15/24)
