Infowars has finally been silenced after nearly 30 years

WSJ Article Excerpt:


The trustee administering the auction of the assets of Infowars’s parent company, Free Speech Systems, designated the joint bid by Global Tetrahedron, the Onion’s owner, along with the Connecticut families, as the winning bidder, according to a Thursday court document in Jones’s individual bankruptcy case. The trustee intends to close the sale before Nov. 30.

The families of eight Sandy Hook victims said Thursday that the buyout of Infowars will put an “end to the misinformation machine that Jones used to defame the families and victims for years.”

The families said the Infowars auction was expected to receive bids from Jones’s associates and other prominent right-wing content creators. “Had any of these parties acquired even a portion of Jones’s assets, it is speculated that Jones could have remained on-air, continuing to broadcast his deeply hateful conspiracy theories and antagonizing the Sandy Hook victims and their families.”
