Here’s Why I Decided To Buy ‘InfoWars’ By Bryce P. Tetraeder, Global Tetrahedron CEO ☞ https://theonion.com/heres-why-i-decided-to-buy-infowars/
And let me say, I really do see it as a family. Much like family members, our brands are abstract nodes of wealth, interchangeable assets for their patriarch to absorb and discard according to the opaque whims of the market. And just like family members, our brands regard one another with mutual suspicion and malice.
🤣
The Onion’s first headline needs to be:
“Oh Shit! It’s ALL true!”
Fucking awesome. Onion has been hitting it hard lately, and this is just the cherry on top. I am hopeful this makes some chuds question their minds.
Will anyone visiting know the difference?
Probably depends on whether they see a difference between intentional and unintentional satire.
The onion is a satirical takes on the news. Infowars is just utter nonsense.
Infowars could claim that immigrants are using teleporters to enter the country and its readership would believe it.
Yeah, that’s my point. The idiots visiting it won’t get satire.
Counterpoint, it was already stupid.
Yes, but this time it will be on purpose.
Is it The Onion? Or Not the Onion?
Yes
Today, The Onion ate.
Remember Stephen Colbert’s satire? Conservatives loved him.
Satire of something already completely outlandish is problematic.
What problem did that cause? It only made everyone else laugh at them harder.
You could accidentally create new conspiracies, that people legitimately believe.
I don’t think that ever happened with Colbert, did it?
People’s definitely agreed with and used his lines of argument, even though he intended them humorously. I don’t know if he put out any conspiracy theories.
I just don’t think the people who believed him and used his lines of argument were taken seriously either except by people who were already in their bubble and weren’t going to come out.
I’m too tired to make this witty but something about it leading to the MAGA movement being a bubble
What was the “gut” thing again?
PrObLeMaTiC
it’s when there are problems
LoL, AJ lost the Info War. 🤣👍
Its also exactly the kind of thing you’d expect to read about in the onion.
This is beyond mear irony.
I hope they keep Alex Jones’s communism financing operation going.
The Onion buys rightwing conspiracy theory site Infowars with plans to make it ‘very funny, very stupid’
They’re halfway there already.
Musk just had a judge in Texas say they’re going to review the bid. I guess we know who the other bidder was now.
Do they have rights to use Jones’ likeness, in the sense of reposting old clips and the like?
They said they have everything.
This should be good…
How could you tell the difference?
Honestly, I would love for them to turn it into just a bastion of info. Just detail the goings-on of the current government.
