The Infowars news is funny, yes. But more importantly, it is an outright rebuke of Alex Jones' evil.
It's testament to the strength and resilience of the Sandy Hook families who survived this bullshit for more than a decade as well as the Onion, which didn't give up on this for the last 18 months.

I'm so happy to have photographic evidence that this horse thoroughly enjoyed his birthday cakes. It's like we have satisfying answers to that Onion column:
1) yes, the horse got to try cake
2) the horse liked the cake
3) the horse's person gave him a good, long life that sometimes included cake

INFOWARS @infowars Lies! Lies! Lies! The Epic Lies And False Reality That The Onion Lives In!
"The Onion lives in a false reality"
The Onion has successfully bought InfoWars. Happy 4/20. 😂
Oh yes indeed! Love it!!
With this new InfoWars, we will democratize psychological torture, welcoming brutal and sadistic ideas from everyone, even the very stupidest among us. It will be like the Manhattan Project, only instead of a bomb, we will be building a website. The InfoWars of tomorrow will converge into a swirling vortex of content about content, talent acquiring talent, rings of concentric media mergers processing all human artistry into one endlessly digestible slurry. This will be a dank, sunless place, one where panic and capital feed on each other like twins in the womb of a hulking, unknowable monster—a monster known by many names, but which I like to call modern-day America.
What a beautiful piece of writing from my boss, @brycetetraeder.bsky.social.

The Onion news is very funny etc but I think it's worth spending a little time looking at the reality of what's happened: the families have not seen their settlement, and Lenny and his former wife Veronique have not even had their long-awaited day in court. This has been brutal and it's not over.
One of the Sandy Hook families lives in hiding 1500 mi away from their baby’s grave due to people stalking them.
The graves of multiple children have been defaced.
One of the fathers had to submit DNA evidence to prove his son was a REAL HUMAN BEING after Alex Jones’ book said he never existed.

Some timeline stuff:
— We expect to get InfoWars.com after the judge clears it in a couple of weeks.
— We'll build a world of characters on the site and across social media. Tim Heidecker is in charge, and we have grand designs.
— Visit theonion.info, buy a subscription, help us dominate the world.
Watch the whole episode here:
The fact that the Onion bought Infowars on the anniversary of Columbine High School murders is just another level of righteousness.
