The Onion has agreed to license the Infowars name and website from the court-appointed manager overseeing Alex Jones' assets. The license transfers control of Infowars' domain, branding, and editorial platform while Jones remains entangled in multi-million dollar defamation judgments and related bankruptcy proceedings. The Onion plans to relaunch Infowars as a satirical property that removes Alex Jones' content but preserves the site's structure, and the manager must secure court approval to finalize the deal.
