In a twist, satirical news outlet The Onion has won the rights to Infowars, the conspiracy-laden platform of Alex Jones.

This acquisition comes as Jones owes over $1 billion in defamation to Sandy Hook families he defamed.

Families have rallied behind the sale, saying it’s a form of long-awaited justice.

The Onion plans to relaunch Infowars as a parody site early next year.

Infowars’ website has already gone offline, with Jones broadcasting from a new location.

The Onion, known for skewering conspiracy theorists, has big plans to turn the page on Jones’ legacy.
