Court Blocks The Onion's Bid to Acquire Infowars

A US bankruptcy judge has rejected The Onion's bid to purchase Alex Jones's Infowars, citing a lack of competitive bidding in the auction process. The Onion's bid was supported by families of Sandy Hook victims, who previously won a $1.5 billion defamation lawsuit against Jones for spreading false conspiracy theories about the 2012 school shooting. The judge noted a "good-faith error" in the auction process and suggested it should have been reopened to encourage more bids.
