This is actually one of the dumbest stunts I'd ever seen. InfoWars is nothing without Alex Jones. They've wasted all their money since Alex will start a new project and his viewership will move.

Oh no, far to the contrary, this is funny as hell. The fact that Alex Jones isn't there makes it even funnier.

And they got all of the stuff and the brands. The chemical brands, the infowars brands, all of it.

First of all, a judge just overturned this thing, so I hope you're still laughing. Secondly, if they really paid money for this, they're idiots because InfoWars is meaningless without Alex. He will just start "The Alex Jones Network" and recapture his audience.

All that said, I see that I got downvoted by woke idiots even though I don't even watch Alex Jones.

It has been paused based on normal steps in bankruptcy proceedings[0].

> A court hearing is typically held after a bankruptcy auction to finalize the winning bids and sales, and to hear any objections, so the process in Jones's case hasn't strayed far from the usual — yet.

Also try and cut out the name calling, especially when you're incorrect.

When it comes to trusting the fake news outlet CBC or Alex Jones, I'd go with Jones on this one: https://x.com/glennbeck/status/1857529776866574769

Trusting Alex Jones is a bold strategy. And not one for anyone who has any media literacy, but you do you!

media literacy is another propaganda term

Damn, got me with the "understanding and being critical of the media you watch is how they get you".

Are you ok over there? It sounds like you might need some help...

You seem to think that I care about the audience. It's funny because it's a puppeteer piloting the shambling corpse of Jones's products around to mock him. A constant reminder of his failure he'll see every day.

I don’t understand what you think they want out of this. They don’t want to keep infowars the way it was, nor are they trying to make money off of it. Do you think their goal was to buy it, keep it running without any changes, and keep extracting money from its previous audience?
