And the Onion won’t have to change much of the actual reporting that Infowars does, they will just label is correctly as satire now.

But how much of what Infowars does could be called “actual reporting”? And would just labeling it satire make it OK?

Isn’t their goal just to get rid of the Department of Education?

They might think the best way to get rid of it involves having a Secretary of Education who opposes it.

No, Legal made them erase it because it looked like an adult leg so was considered lying. /red

I misread it. In my defense what I read was still correct. The worm could both eat brains and still starve to death

Judge Halts the Onion’s Infowars Takeover to Review Bankruptcy Auction Process

At a bankruptcy court hearing Thursday afternoon in Houston, lawyers for Jones and the only other bidder in the Infowars auction — First United American Companies, which operates the ShopAlexJones.com website — complained about the secrecy of the process, in which bids for a “best-and-final offer” were sealed. The terms of the Onion’s winning bid have not been disclosed. The trustee who oversaw the auction, Christopher Murray, told the court that the Onion did not have a higher cash bid than First United (which bid $3.5 million).

But, according to Murray, the Onion’s deal was picked as the superior offer because the Connecticut families agreed to forgo much of money Jones’ owes them in order to pay other creditors. With the bid from the Onion and Connecticut families, “the creditors ended up significantly better off, and that’s why I chose to do, select that as a winning bidder,” Murray said. He called the families’ agreement to waive their monetary claims as a “gift” to the other Infowars creditors: “I’ve never seen this before in any other case.”

Judge Lopez said he was not aware of the sealed-bid format the trustee implemented nor did he know specifically what assets in the case were being sold. He expressed concern about the way bids were submitted and reviewed by the trustee, and noted that First United (which the trustee designated as the “backup bidder”) didn’t know what the Onion and the Connecticut families had bid. “We’re holding an evidentiary hearing, and I’m going to figure out exactly what happened,” the judge said. Later, he said, “My concern is the lack of transparency in the process.” No date was set for next week’s hearing.
