Joy-hating judges once again delay The Onion's InfoWars takeover

As pointed out by Global Tetrahedron CEO Ben Collins on social media, the blockage of the deal is not just an impediment to the art of comedy: It’s also a setback for the families of the victims of the 2012 Sandy Hook shooting, who successfully sued Jones for $1.4 billion eight years ago—after he accused them of being actors who only pretended that their children had been murdered—and who’ve never actually seen any money from the professional bloviator. The families have long supported Collins’ bid to take control of InfoWars, at least in part because Global Tetrahedron has pledged to give parts of the proceeds from merch sales to the family, the first real payments they’ll get in the near-decade since the judgment.

Collins was n0-joking-around irate about Jones’ latest stall tactic in his social media posts, writing, “I am so sorry for the delay. We’re trying as hard as we can while Alex Jones invents new avenues to subvert justice with the appeasement of a series of ultimately scared people who should know better. I’m going to keep fighting for the Sandy Hook families, who haven’t seen a penny from Alex Jones.”
