“The Onion is proud to acquire Infowars, and we look forward to continuing its storied tradition of scaring the site’s users with lies until they fork over their cold, hard cash,” said The Onion CEO Ben Collins. “Or Bitcoin. We will also accept Bitcoin.”

From the CNN.com article.

Through it all, InfoWars has shown an unswerving commitment to manufacturing anger and radicalizing the most vulnerable members of society—values that resonate deeply with all of us at Global Tetrahedron.

Wrong sub, this article is about The Onion

This is perhaps too onion-y, but somebody has to drop it in the thread:

The Onion's statement on the purchase

[-] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 37 points 1 day ago

It's funny how today is one of the few days where posting that would be not the onion

[-] meowMix2525@lemm.ee 6 points 1 day ago

I have an odd urge to subscribe to their printed syndication

OMG this is a thing! Seriously evaluating my need for 9 bucks every month!

[-] Gingerlegs@lemmy.world 5 points 19 hours ago

$60 for a year, or $5 a month I believe

[-] Illecors@lemmy.cafe 4 points 18 hours ago

Maybe different pricing? Loading https://membership.theonion.com/ from across the pond shows 99 annual or 9/month

[-] Gingerlegs@lemmy.world 4 points 17 hours ago

Dang, you’re right! I must have gotten a limited time offer that I didn’t realize

[-] cerement@slrpnk.net 26 points 1 day ago

I hope JorDan from knowledge fight get a chance to work with the onion, no one knows alex's brain better than Dan and could write a perfect spoof version

[-] Lupus@feddit.org 9 points 1 day ago

Omfg I didn't even think about that possibility, that would be perfect, if Dan really gets Alex's desk I am gonna explode with laughter.

[-] Kowowow@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 day ago

Oh what if the onion guys handle turning new episodes into videos

[-] simple@lemm.ee 9 points 1 day ago
