  • The bidder that lost last month's auction of conspiracy theorist Alex Jones' assets had complained that the process was rigged and "fatally flawed."

The article from KGOU discusses a recent ruling by a bankruptcy judge who rejected a bid by The Onion to take over the conspiracy theory website Infowars. The satirical news outlet, known for its humor, proposed to manage Infowars as part of the bankruptcy proceedings of Free Speech Systems, Infowars' parent company. The judge dismissed the proposal citing concerns over the satirical nature of The Onion potentially undermining the serious nature of the bankruptcy case, especially given the ongoing legal battles involving Infowars' founder Alex Jones, who faces significant defamation lawsuits. The decision keeps Infowars under its current management while the bankruptcy process continues, with creditors and legal teams navigating the complex financial and legal landscape surrounding Jones and his media empire.
