The Onion buys rightwing conspiracy theory site Infowars with plans to make it ‘very funny, very stupid’ (www.theguardian.com)

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.

Who did they give money to? Maybe it would've been better if they just created a offbrand infowars.

This is so weird, I just read a comment on Lemmy where someone said they should do exactly this.
