The Onion’s Infowars Is Destroying What’s Left Of Alex Jones’ Reputation And Getting Sandy Hook Families Paid

https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://aftermath.site/podcasts/aftermath-hours-podcast-the-onion-infowars-ben-collins-interview/

And now for something completely different...

This is really happening... at the intersection of Alex Jones, Info Wars, MAGA crazy, The Onion, and frogs.

> None of these words are in the Bible.

This sure does seem like an Onion sort of story... It's getting harder to tell, now!

The Onion’s ‘Infowars’ #Parody Is Here. #AlexJones Is Going to Hate It

The satirical site is fighting to officially take over #Infowars. In the meantime, CEO Ben Collins says the new show will mock “how fucking stupid” conspiratorial brain rot has become.

Alex Jones subjected the families of Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims to nearly a decade of extreme harassment and death threats by repeatedly promoting the false conspiracy theory that the 2012 massacre was an elaborate hoax and that the grieving parents were "crisis actors"

See? I told ya that comedy is about the only thing that'll save us!

WBEZ: The Onion relaunches InfoWars, Alex Jones’ right-wing conspiracy website, this week. “Here’s something you absolutely can trust, barring some last-minute legal roadblock: the Chicago-based satirical newspaper, The Onion, is set to launch InfoWars on July 2, a year and seven months after it won the initial auction to take over the website founded by right-wing conspiracy theorist Alex […]

#TheOnion certainly has a better take

Weekly output: customer satisfaction scores, Qualcomm Quick Charge, TiVo OS, The Onion

This week started at home, then took me out of town first to New Orleans for the Online News Association’s conference (the ninth I’ve attended), followed by Los Angeles for Cranky Dorkfest (my overdue introduction to that avgeek meetup).

9/9/2025: This PC Maker Just Pushed Apple Out of the Top Spot for Customer Satisfaction, PCMag

I had more time than I thought I would Monday to write this when jury duty turned into a roughly 20-minute exercise–they seated the jury they needed right before my reporting time.

9/10/2025: Qualcomm Quick Charge Tech Gets Big Update. Will It Appear on Any US Phones?, PCMag

One of my editors asked if I could pick up this embargoed item, and I had enough slack time in my schedule Tuesday to make that happen.

9/12/2025: Xperi’s TiVo OS aims to bring search and simplicity to TV makers, Light Reading

After a show-floor interview at IFA that gave me about 95% of what I needed, it took a few more days for Xperi’s PR firm to confirm a couple of details, after which I wrote and filed the piece for my telecom trade-pub client during some downtime at ONA Thursday afternoon.

9/14/2025: The Onion CEO Unloads on AI’s Joke-Writing Skills, Says Infowars Purchase Still on the Table, PCMag

Having seen Ben Collins on a panel at SXSW 2019, I thought he would make an engaging, funny speaker at ONA. He was, but he also made some serious points about the Trump administration’s frequent hostility to dissent and the need for journalists to resist that pressure.

Alex Jones today, after The Onion bought InfoWars:

> I just got word 15 minutes ago that my lawyers and folks met with the U.S. trustee
> over our bankruptcy this morning and they said they are shutting us down even
> without a court order this morning.

They didn't need a court order to shut down #InfoWars, you idiot, because they *own* it. With the right environmental permit, they could have burned it to the ground.

@tootbrute

Oh come on - The Onion is meant to be satire.

"Elon throws tantrum, fires folks" is expected behaviour, not satire.

Is this categorising of Musk' s expected behaviour as being somehow "different and remarkable" part of some ongoing #ReputationLaundering campaign?

If so then sorry to see #TheOnion has been corrupted just like #TheGuardian and the #TheAtlantic.
