The Onion's bid to take over Infowars moves to the Texas Supreme Court

Key Points:

• The legal battle over control of Infowars, the media company run by Alex Jones, is now before the Texas Supreme Court, with The Onion seeking to license the Infowars brand and use proceeds to compensate Sandy Hook families awarded over $1.3 billion in a defamation case against Jones.
• Alex Jones claims he is being forced to leave his Infowars studio due to a court-appointed receiver ceasing payment of operational bills, with Jones planning to move to a new studio and continue broadcasting under new ownership.
• The Sandy Hook families support The Onion's takeover bid and are actively pursuing enforcement of their judgment, emphasizing their patience and determination to see Infowars shut down and the judgment paid.
• Jones hailed a recent appeals court decision as a victory, asserting that the lawsuits have increased public interest in his cause, while attorneys for the families call for swift judicial action to end Jones's legal delays.
• The Onion's CEO criticized ongoing legal delays as unprecedented stalling tactics by Jones, expressing frustration with the U.S. legal system's tolerance of these maneuvers to avoid compensating the Sandy Hook families.
