This newly insane, unprecedented legal stalling does nothing but delay our deal with the receiver to take control of InfoWars. We now expect new traps in Alex Jones' amoral war to deny paying the Sandy Hook families, but we're freshly surprised by the U.S. legal system's appetite to put up with it.

some late-breaking news on @theonion.com’s quest to take over Infowars: A Texas appeals court just stayed the turnover of the site to the official who inked the agreement with an affiliate of The Onion. This puts the deal in bizarre legal limbo for now. More TK.
I am so sorry for the delay. We're trying as hard as we can while Alex Jones invents new avenues to subvert justice with the appeasement of a series of ultimately scared people who should know better. I'm going to keep fighting for the Sandy Hook families, who haven't seen a penny from Alex Jones.
The Onion's readership wants us to fight this fight and mock the very capricious and unjust system we are currently experiencing all throughout America right now, one that lets tyrants abuse the courts while good people get hurt. Thank you to our 76,000+ subscribers, who are along for this ride.

I always hated that sign, but it's so good now
gift subscriptions for everyone i know
Keep going. These families need whatever justice they can get.
Thank you, Ben!!! As a subscriber, we appreciate all you’re doing!!
I finally subscribed last weekend because what you're doing here is good. I specifically want you to spend my money to fight this.
I love the smell of newsprint on . Olds should subscribe for the nostalgic waft that comes out of the envelope.
Thank you! I cannot imagine the stress of this situation. We support you!
I subscribed to the Onion when all of this started to help you fund this fight. Thank you so much for staying in it. It's just such complete and utter bullshit that so many people are so committed to making sure he doesn't have to face consequences for the harm he's done. Stay strong!
Doesn't it seem a bit futile, though? Or even counterproductive? I mean Jones's audience isn't going to pay attention to anything The Onion publishes under the InfoWars name. Plus, this whole thing has possibly soured certain die hard free speech advocates on The Onion and its political leanings.
anyone who thinks this is some new, shocking behavior from the onion that makes them reevaluate their understanding of the publication's politics is, i'm sorry, a complete fucking idiot
Be that as it may, The Onion isn't doing itself any favors by losing them as potential subscribers, or increasing the portion of the population that perceives The Onion as an enemy of freedom of speech. The opinions of people you call idiots are worth as much as your opinions in this society.
Yes...yes we do. Fuck AlexJones and [the prior iteration of] InfoWars
Good luck! Have you considered dropping a country western song by an Alex Jones impersonator called "Dear David Hogg?" explaining the ordeal Afroman Style?
Because that's where several of the defamation suits were filed
