Summary
The Onion is launching a satirical livestream parody of Alex Jones’s Infowars tonight at 8 PM Eastern, complete with Tim Heidecker’s signature absurdity and a dramatic, comedic twist involving Jones’s fate. This bold stunt, airing on Twitch, YouTube, and Instagram, is part of The Onion’s ongoing effort to acquire Infowars through bankruptcy — a move intended to help settle debts owed to Sandy Hook families. While the legal battle continues, the parody aims to skewer online conspiracy culture and highlight the “brain rot” of social media, all while keeping the Infowars brand alive and valuable — a strategic play that could ultimately benefit the families seeking justice.
