I would like the Onion to just use info wars for cold hard facts. They could still keep their parody site open. ---

Or just run articles claiming that the supplements that Alex Jones pushes have been linked to impotence, penis shrinkage, hair loss and voting for Democrats. ---

**Moderating:** I’m going to direct all comments about what sort of content the Onion pursues as InfoWars to the new thread linked above: > [@The Onion has taken over Infowars](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-onion-has-taken-over-infowars/1029456): > > This should be fun! I wonder how many Alex Jones fans will go there assuming he’s still in charge. Lots, I hope. rofl It’s absolutely more Cafe Society content _at the moment_ than P&E. I am NOT closing this thread however, especially since we don’t know what final legal dodges will be employed by Alex Jones or his creditors. Or, what ongoing legal issues will be pursued against Alex Jones and/or his lawyer. But if your comments are about the best way for the Onion to mock Jone’s legacy and lampoon the right, let’s take it to the new thread. Please and thank you.
