The Onion acquires Alex Jones' Infowars

Zoom in: The Onion will relaunch a new version of Infowars with Everytown for Gun Safety, a nonprofit that fights gun violence, as its first sponsor.

• Financial terms were not disclosed.
• The deal includes Infowars' website, product inventory, customer lists, social media accounts, and intellectual property.
• The Onion was acquired by Twilio co-founder Jeff Lawson and former NBC News reporter Ben Collins earlier this year.

Catch up quick: Jones was made to liquidate his assets after he and his company, Free Speech Systems, were ordered to pay almost $1.5 billion in damages for falsely claiming the Sandy Hook mass shooting was a hoax.
