A bankruptcy judge is set to hear arguments Monday in conspiracy theorist Alex Jones’ effort to stop the satirical news outlet The Onion from buying Infowars and turning it into a parody.
Jones alleges fraud and collusion marred the bankruptcy auction in which The Onion was named the winning bidder on Nov. 14 over a company affiliated with him.
It’s not clear how soon U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Christopher Lopez in Houston will issue a ruling. He could allow The Onion to move forward with its purchase, order a new auction or name the other bidder as the winner. At stake is whether Jones gets to stay at Infowars’ studio in Austin, Texas, under a new owner friendly to him, or whether he gets kicked out by The Onion.
The other bidder, First United American Companies, runs a website in Jones’ name that sells nutritional supplements.

I’m hoping Elon Musk will buy MSNBC and give Alex Jones a 3 hour time slot.
Russell Branch says he wants Rachel Maddow’s time slot. There are several people vying to be on a panel named “The New View”.
What started as a DJTjr and Elon Musk joke has gained steam as an actual possibility and now I bet Musk has appointed someone to actually look into it.
I hope the Alex Jones bankruptcy sale is completely overturned. There was a conspiracy to defraud the bankruptcy court.
The entire verdict against Jones is a travesty and a violation of his First Amendment rights and it should have been overturned by a higher court. The case is going to be used as a basis to go after others who refuse to take the government’s say-so on controversial issues or incidents. And it will soon be a case of “First they came after Alex Jones, and you said nothing.....”
