## Resource

The Onion just dropped “The Real Infowars” — a satirical riposte to Alex Jones’ conspiracy empire — and they’re donating $100K from merch sales to Sandy Hook families, who’ve still never seen a dime of Jones’ $1B defamation judgment. After years of trying to buy Infowars, The Onion’s CEO teamed up with comedian Tim Heidecker to spoof Jones’ style, turning misinformation into a punchline with a purpose. While Jones’ empire once raked in $50M/year, bankruptcy now follows his legal woes — and Sandy Hook’s attorneys say any future cash Jones earns belongs to the victims’ families. The Onion’s parody isn’t just comedy — it’s a weaponized satire designed to expose the real damage of lies, one absurd headline at a time.
