Careercow Alexander Emerick "Alex" Jones - King of the Conspiratards, Performance Artist

[Temperance]

Apparently confirmed by Ben Collins (the disgraced former "disinformation reporter" at NBC who quit and then became CEO at The Onion).

The alleged owner of The Onion and the new owner of InfoWars Bryce P. Tetraeder (is he a real person? His name sounds like some Bond villain) posted this letter: (A)
https://theonion.com/heres-why-i-decided-to-buy-infowars/
Highlighted part:
"Founded in 1999 on the heels of the Satanic “panic” and growing steadily ever since, InfoWars has distinguished itself as an invaluable tool for brainwashing and controlling the masses. With a shrewd mix of delusional paranoia and dubious anti-aging nutrition hacks, they strive to make life both scarier and longer for everyone, a commendable goal. They are a true unicorn, capable of simultaneously inspiring public support for billionaires and stoking outrage at an inept federal state that can assassinate JFK but can’t even put a man on the Moon."

EDIT: So the Onion is a satirical news page, I wasn't familiar with them.

What a massive faggot. The Onion earned its name from all the layers of unfunny articles you need to peel through before you find a good one.

I have criticized The Onion from being based to becoming libby fags, but honestly, this is the funniest fucking thing they have done in years.

Another property flayed and worn as a skinsuit by leftists. Had this been done 4 or 6 years earlier this might have raked in monies from The Resistance (tm), but the whole movement has fizzled out as evidenced by the last election, I expect it will generate some upvotes on Reddit then immediately become forgotten.

 

[Rudolf's Friend]

So how much money does Ben Collins’s family have again?

So how much money does Ben Collins’s family have again?

Enough to pay for his vagina.

 

[niggernomicon]

Fuck the onion. Reddit ass niggas

 

[CHARizard]

The Onion hasn’t been funny since getting bought by Grabblers.

 

[myhairisonfire]

If The Onion starts selling off InfoWars assets to recoup cost, then consider me interested in the recipe for The Chili That Makes You Forget Your Own Children.

So how much money does Ben Collins’s family have again?

I don't think he's rich himself, but he has several rich friends who don't mind splashing around money.

See these old posts about him buying The Onion:




The new NYT article about the InfoWars purchase mentions this:

Ben Collins, the chief executive of The Onion’s parent company, Global Tetrahedron

Mr. Collins declined to provide financial details for The Onion, which is privately held, but he said that the company’s relaunched print edition had garnered “an arena” full of subscribers, helping finance the company’s bid for Infowars. Global Tetrahedron is backed by Jeff Lawson, a co-founder of the tech company Twilio.

Sounds like Jeff Lawson is one of Ben's main patrons.

 

[Seafarer]

they have the ability to do the funniest thing ever

>”The Onion”, in modern day, owned by Ben Collins
>funny

Pick one

 

[I'mma real anime gurl]

Elon Musk should buy the Onion for Info Wars.

 

[COME ON OUT YOU RAPIST]

Is the Onion still owned by Hillary Clinton's top guy?

 

[Pat's Pointer Finger]

alex jones is a crackhead and the onion buying them is objectively hilarious. They can just run his old content with no changes

 

[Burd Turglar]

How does the onion have money? I seem to remember it being free on street corners in liberal cities.

 

[Jew-ish]

Of all possible outcomes, this one is by far the funniest lmao

 

[Norwegian Trailer Trash]

Third best outcome and incredibly funny.

Number two would be the guys from Knowledge Fight getting it and housing every episode of their podcast, which thoroughly debunks him and shows the time line of his fall from crypto fascist agitator to fascist propagandist.

Number one would be Jones doing a rope dance for damage he's done to the Republic.

The publication plans to reintroduce Infowars in January as a parody of itself, mocking “weird internet personalities” like Mr. Jones who traffic in misinformation and health supplements, Ben Collins, the chief executive of The Onion’s parent company, Global Tetrahedron, said in an interview.

Mocking weird internet personalities? That sounds like kiwifarms. Be on the lookout for copied content.

Ben Collins is an expert at spreading misinformation, so he's a good fit to run the site.
