Judge Blocks The Onion's Attempt to Acquire Infowars

A Texas bankruptcy judge has blocked The Onion's acquisition of InfoWars, citing issues with the sealed bidding process that did not maximize returns for creditors. The Onion had bid $7 million, partly funded by money awarded to Sandy Hook families from their lawsuit against InfoWars founder Alex Jones. Despite the setback, The Onion's parent company, Global Tetrahedron, plans to continue pursuing the acquisition to transform InfoWars into a platform for humor.
