The Onion's bid to take over Infowars hits another snag
"A Texas appeals court granted Jones's emergency request to pause a deal that would allow The Onion to license the Infowars brand name and turn the show into a mockery of itself."
"Jones stated that he is still being forced to leave his Infowars studio, as a court-appointed state receiver is no longer paying to keep it open."
"Jones called the appeals court decision 'a massive victory,' claiming that the lawsuits against him have only increased public interest in his situation."
"The Onion takeover is backed by the Sandy Hook families who won more than $1.3 billion in a defamation case against Jones for spreading falsehoods about the shooting."
Alex Jones has received a temporary reprieve from a Texas appeals court regarding a deal that would allow The Onion to license the Infowars brand. Despite this, Jones is being forced to leave his studio due to financial issues, as a court-appointed receiver is not covering operational costs. He claims this is the last official Infowars show. The Onion's takeover is supported by Sandy Hook families who won a defamation case against Jones, who has yet to pay any damages.
