“You know, when you think about the unmitigated harm that Alex Jones and Infowars brought to Sandy Hook families, it’s just poetic justice that now Everytown and The Onion together will open a new chapter on Infowars and a chapter that is devoted to the issue of gun safety.”

STORYLINE:
Families of Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims say the satirical news publication The Onion won the bidding for Alex Jones’ Infowars at a bankruptcy auction.
They made the announcement Thursday. Jones owes them more than $1 billion in defamation judgments for calling the 2012 massacre a hoax.
The sale price was not immediately disclosed. The Onion says its “exclusive launch advertiser” will be the gun violence prevention organization Everytown for Gun Safety.
Jones said on social media that he planned to challenge the sale in court.
He broadcast live from the Infowars studio Thursday morning and appeared distraught, putting his head in his hand at his desk.
