The Onion Wins Bidding for InfoWars Assets
Satirical news site The Onion won the auction to acquire conspiracy theorist Alex Jones’ InfoWars.
A small bright spot in a dark timeline.

But a federal judge in Texas ordered a hearing into how the Onion – known for bite – won the bidding, after Jones and his lawyers raised questions about how the auction was conducted.
Yeah, seems like there was some behind the scenes work so that the onion could buy it, we'll see if it stands up in the (I assume deeply corrupt...) bankruptcy court. God, I hope it does....
It's not some secret, I think it was in the AP reporting. The victims took a lower offer for the asset from The Onion because they didn't want it to continue to spread hate.
Yeah, don't think it was a secret by any means but I do think my understanding of bankruptcy proceedings is lacking to the point I have no idea if that will invalidate the sale like InfoWars is claiming in their suit.
