The Onion, équivalent de notre Gorafi, rachète le site de désinformation conspirationniste Infowars.
Le crachat à la gueule ultime <3
>**The Onion Says It Has Bought Infowars, Alex Jones’s Site, Out of Bankruptcy**
>The Onion, a satirical publication that skewers newsmakers and current events, said on Thursday that it had won a bankruptcy auction to acquire Infowars, a website founded and operated by the conspiracy theorist Alex Jones.
>The Onion said that the bid was sanctioned by the families of the victims of the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School, who in 2022 won a $1.4 billion defamation lawsuit against Mr. Jones and his company, Free Speech Systems.
>Everytown for Gun Safety, a nonprofit dedicated to ending gun violence that was founded in the aftermath of the Sandy Hook shooting, will advertise on a relaunched version of the site under The Onion.
>Family members of the victims of the Sandy Hook shooting, which claimed the lives of 20 first graders and six educators, sued Mr. Jones in Connecticut Superior Court in 2018 after he spread the baseless claim that the rampage was a fabricated pretext for confiscating Americans’ firearms.
>The Onion declined to disclose the price it paid for Infowars and its assets, including its production studio and diet supplement business. Mr. Jones could not immediately be reached for comment, but he said on the social media platform X this week that he planned to continue producing his online program, “The Alex Jones Show,” until he was forced to stop.
>In September, a Houston judge ruled that Infowars and other assets owned by Free Speech Systems could be auctioned off in bankruptcy to compensate Mr. Jones’s creditors, which include the families of the Sandy Hook victims. Mr. Jones declared bankruptcy in 2022 as the Sandy Hook case made its way to court.
>Ben Collins, the chief executive of The Onion’s parent company, Global Tetrahedron, said in an interview that he was informed late Wednesday by the trustee in charge of the bankruptcy auction that The Onion’s bid had prevailed. The trustee was expected to inform Mr. Jones of the result of the auction on Thursday morning.
C’est un r/paslegorafi quantique.
A la fois c’est le Gorafi et à la fois c’est pas le Gorafi
Ce coup de maître putain
Un coup de maître, d’un niveau juste inégalé. Chapeau bas.
>Today we celebrate a new addition to the Global Tetrahedron LLC family of brands. 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.
> […]
>Founded in 1999 on the heels of the Satanic “panic” and growing steadily ever since, InfoWars has distinguished itself as an invaluable tool for brainwashing and controlling the masses. With a shrewd mix of delusional paranoia and dubious anti-aging nutrition hacks, they strive to make life both scarier and longer for everyone, a commendable goal. They are a true unicorn, capable of simultaneously inspiring public support for billionaires and stoking outrage at an inept federal state that can assassinate JFK but can’t even put a man on the Moon.

Pousser la satire dans la performance artistique.
Ce rachat c’est de l’art
Avec ce rachat, The Onion pourra enfin faire des articles sur ce sujet si important : les grenouilles homosexuelles !
Incroyable! On dirait un titre de The Onion, du pur génie 👌🏻
A vrai dire, quand on voit les vrais titres d’actualité ces derniers temps, on se demande comment The Onion aussi n’a pas déjà fait faillite.
Enfin une bonne nouvelle dans une année pourrie!
C’est du génie!
Mais en fait c’est une bonne solution ! Si l’onion a racheté avec le site les listings mail, il leur est possible peut être par une approche sensible de sortir certains matrixés de leur univers parallèle !
L’objectif ultime s’était de récupérer fox news, mais ça va être impossible hélas.
**Le gorafi rachète C8**
Why do we care about this in France?
En tant qu’auditeur régulier de Jones depuis 7 ans, par le prisme du podcast Knowledge Fight, je ne réalise pas trop encore.

Sublime.
Du c’est pas beau ça !
C’est délicieux
l’annonce “officielle” est très drôle : https://theonion.com/heres-why-i-decided-to-buy-infowars/

Bientôt chez nous :
“Le Gorafi rachète *France Soir*. “
Sur Bluesky [le patron de The Onion confirme bien](https://bsky.app/profile/bencollins.bsky.social/post/3law7zmt6522x) qu’ils ont tout, y compris la boite de “suppléments” chelous que vendait Jones, les locaux, le matos d’enregistrement…
Je sais pas combien d’employés il restait, mais l’ambiance doit être un peu étrange
