Here’s Why I Decided To Buy ‘InfoWars’ By Bryce P. Tetraeder, Global Tetrahedron CEO ☞ https://theonion.com/heres-why-i-decided-to-buy-infowars/

And let me say, I really do see it as a family. Much like family members, our brands are abstract nodes of wealth, interchangeable assets for their patriarch to absorb and discard according to the opaque whims of the market. And just like family members, our brands regard one another with mutual suspicion and malice.

For me, the cherry on top is how the "InfoWars" name is still completely apt, for completely different reasons.

Reformatting InfoWars as a serious, unironic branch of the Onion that deals with misinformation would just be great.

That would be hilarious. I’d love for it to wind up just doing serious journalism
