Judge Blocks The Onion Bid for Alex Jones’s InfoWars to Review Bankruptcy Auction

Just a reminder that the national review is a garbage rag and a biased source.

The judge had questions about the process used to decide the onion had won, and reviewed the information. That's not the same as blocking the sale.
A hearing is normal after the sale of assets, and the people making the claim that it's not are the other buyer, which is ... Alex Jones.

Jones was accused of peddling the narrative that the shooting, in which a gunman killed 20 first-grade students and six teachers twelve years ago, was a massive hoax designed to get federal gun-control legislation enacted. The plaintiffs alleged Jones defamed them on his show and inflicted emotional distress.

That's a very slanted way to say "Jones was convicted of defamation and inflicting emotional distress on the families of a school shooting by insisting their children weren't real".

Man, the onion buying infowars was the one good news story this entire month... of course we can't even have that

That judge sounds butthurt. I wonder who appointed him….

Well well well he was appointed by Carl E Stewart who was appointed by Slick Willy. Not what I expected.

Why can't we have nice things man

When does Jones realize that no matter what happens, it doesn’t end well for him?

National Review isn’t a reliable “news” source. It’s more like a version of the old supermarket crap like the The Enquirer, only with a politics lean instead of People Magazine lean.

Maybe the judge was worried, in the current political climate, that if the Onion owned InfoWars, a lot more frogs would be turned gay. And frankly, being a gay frog in present day America just isn't really a great way to live with all of the oppression.

So really, the judge is doing the frogs a favour.
