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.

🤣

I thought that was a joke. But regular news sites are running the story. So maybe it's real?

This is the best thing that's ever happened

Does this mean they're Alex Jones's boss now?

Makes sense. They keep him contained somewhere to ramble, while appropriately inducted and vetted comedians interpret, neutralize and transmit his bullshit and make it funny.

An oracle of comedy situation.

Aside from the official licensing, you essentially just described Knowledge Fight.

It took me a while to realize this is actually true. Reality is amazing.

[–] MoonManKipper@lemmy.world 8 points 15 hours ago

That pushed me over the edge to subscribe to the print edition

I mean, it’s already half way there, all they got to do is make it funny

This is fucking hilarious, best news I've heard in forever.

[–] Lettuceeatlettuce@lemmy.ml 6 points 15 hours ago

Lol I am so happy about this.

[–] xorollo@leminal.space 2 points 12 hours ago

Wait, is it real?

[–] Dindonmasker@sh.itjust.works 4 points 15 hours ago (7 children)

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

[–] half_fiction@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 15 hours ago

It was being auctioned for the victims but there was also the real risk that a supporter would win who would let him he continue on business as usual. So definitely money well spent.

Stupid it was all along

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 1 points 12 hours ago

Well they only need to do the first part of that.

[–] humble_pete_digger@lemm.ee 0 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

Where did they move? Where is Alex Jones on now?

[–] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 2 points 11 hours ago

I think he's getting sued or something

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