Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, who claimed the Sandy Hook school shooting was a hoax, is vowing to fight the sale of his Texas-based media empire. InfoWars was bought at auction by the owners of a satirical website called The Onion.
The sale was ordered by a judge to pay off a defamation suit, won by the Sandy Hook families. A press release says the deal was done with their help. The gun violence prevention group Everytown For Gun Safety was also part of the purchase. Their president said in a statement that they’re proud to be part of stopping the flow of “hurtful misinformation.”
