It's just a domain name. The Onion taking it over does virtually nothing to impact Alex Jone's reach.
Then the point was to send a message, which brings it back to being biased. I’m not a fan of Alex Jones but I am a fan of people making their own decisions about what content they consume. This sets a dangerous precedent that fundamentally stifles free speech. I wonder how long it will take Republicans to pull this on Democrats, which means this tit-for-tat back and forth will never end.
