The Onion’s InfoWars officially has a launch date: On July 2nd, the conspiracy network previously run by Alex Jones will return as a comedy and media platform. The reboot comes more than a year and a half after news broke that the satirical news site was working to acquire the property owned by Jones, a conspiracy theorist who notably targeted victims of the Sandy Hook school shooting.
“Developed with the support of the Sandy Hook families, the new InfoWars is being reimagined as a comedy and cultural platform featuring original programming, guest talent, and new comedic voices,” a press release reads. “The project reflects The Onion’s broader vision to build a modern, internet-native comedy ecosystem rooted in curation, creativity, and direct audience engagement.”
The company says the relaunch coincides with a $100,000 donation to the Sandy Hook families that was raised through merch sales related to the project, and it says it will be “the first of many.”
