How The Onion Took Over Infowars

PABLO TORRE FINDS OUT

On Tuesday, we broke the news that The Onion had finally struck a deal — with the help of Sandy Hook families — to take over Infowars from Alex Jones.

This episode, with Global Tetrahedron CEO Ben Collins, is that explanation: of how they (we) got here; his personal connection to Infowars coverage; and why The Onion didn’t give up.
