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.

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

They should run it like it was. Then in about a year, just subtly start changing the context. Then before you know it, they are going to start supporting progressive topics.

Lol I am so happy about this.

Honestly, I would love for them to turn it into just a bastion of info. Just detail the goings-on of the current government.

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

Musk just had a judge in Texas say they're going to review the bid. I guess we know who the other bidder was now.
