Mediaite
•April 21st, 2026
DESCRIPTION
Alex Jones is losing Infowars — and the group taking over is The Onion. A federal bankruptcy court has cleared the way for the satirical news organization to lease the Infowars domain and brand name for $81,000 a month. And Jones is freaking out.
In this video, we break down how the Infowars bankruptcy led to this moment, why Alex Jones is blaming Donald Trump, and what Tim Heidecker's satirical takeover announcement actually means for the future of the platform. Is this the greatest troll in media history — or an $81K mistake?
