Judge Delays Decision on The Onion's Infowars Purchase Amidst Alex Jones' Opposition

TL;DR Summary
A bankruptcy judge has delayed a hearing on Alex Jones' attempt to block The Onion from purchasing Infowars, following allegations of fraud and collusion in the auction process. The Onion's bid, which includes a pledge from Sandy Hook families to forgo some auction proceeds, was deemed better for creditors. Jones, who declared bankruptcy after being ordered to pay $1.5 billion to Sandy Hook families, claims the auction was rigged. The judge will decide on the sale and related motions in December.
