While the judge did not cite any wrongdoing, he did find serious problems with the proposed sale of Infowars to The Onion.
The Onion had announced plans to acquire Infowars and transform it into a satirical platform, a move that sparked debate among media observers and free speech advocates. The judge's decision to pause the sale introduces uncertainty into the future of Infowars.
The CEO of The Onion, Ben Collins, released a statement on X this morning saying, "We're planning on making a very stupid website." And he confirmed that Infowars was bought in partnership with the Sandy Hook families.
