> The Onion is in for a big letdown.

I don’t think they expected anything different. I think they saw the brand for sale at firesale prices, and decided they could use it. In fact, they’re one of the only ’mainstream’ outlets that can use the InfoWars brand, since it’s funny. Perhaps they will set up a ‘competing’ ‘right-wing’ satire site ala Colbert Report vs Daily Show.

The Babylon Bee is a pretty right wing version of The Onion with articles titled things like "Satan Devastated After Kamala Loses Election".

But that actually has a right-wing agenda right? I was talking about being ironically right wing.
