Right-wing conspiracist Alex Jones said his infamous Infowars platform has stopped broadcasting and shuttered its Austin headquarters as a licensing bid from the Chicago-based satirical news site The Onion remains tied up in court.

The Onion buying Infowars is... Absolutely Fabulous (see Brit Comedy show).

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

www.npr.org

""The Sandy Hook families have endless patience and over $1 billion dollars in judgments against Alex Jones and Infowars," said attorney Chris Mattei.

"His desperate legal maneuvering can do nothing to stop the inevitable closure of Infowars, and we call on the Texas courts to recognize that the families, whose final judgments have been blessed by the United States Supreme Court, are entitled to a speedy and just resolution."

For his part, The Onion CEO Ben Collins called out the "insane, unprecedented legal stalling.

"He wrote in a post on social media, "We now expect new traps in Alex Jones' amoral war to deny paying the Sandy Hook families, but we're freshly surprised by the U.S. legal system's appetite to put up with it."
