Hi–

Today, The Onion won its bid to acquire Infowars, the notorious harbinger
of disinformation, misinformation, and hate speech helmed by its founder:
professional Internet troll Alex Jones.

Alex Jones has grossly profited off the pain of Sandy Hook families, and
his brand of hateful disinformation has seeped into mainstream American
culture.

exclusive launch advertiser, collaborating with them as they repurpose the
intellectual property of Infowars and turn it into a tool to combat
disinformation and extremism.

It Has Bought Infowars, Alex Jones's Site, Out of Bankruptcy". The
subheader reads "The satirical news site planned to turn Infowars into a
parody of itself, mocking "weird internet personalities" who peddle
conspiracy theories and health supplements." The article was published on
November 14, 2024, and written by Benjamin Mullen. The screenshot is
accompanied by a photo of Alex Jones speaking to press.

This new venture will not only staunch the flow of hurtful misinformation,
but it also holds significant potential for us to reach new audiences in
the fight for gun safety.

The Onion has long called out America's need to combat gun violence.
Through this multi-year advertising relationship, we'll leverage the
former Infowars platform to extend our advocacy work and deliver facts
about gun violence to a much broader audience, including young people,
men, and conservatives.

We're thrilled to be a part of turning the page on this toxic chapter of
misinformation—and will keep you updated on what's to come.

Thanks for being a part of this movement,

John Feinblatt
President
Everytown for Gun Safety
