Judge rejects The Onion's bid for Infowars

A bankruptcy judge rejected a bid by The Onion to buy Infowars, the conspiracy-spreading website run by Alex Jones. The judge said the process lacked transparency.

It leaves the fate of Infowars up in the air. Jones lost a $1.4 billion defamation lawsuit brought by the families of victims of the Sandy Hook shooting, and the sale of Infowars is part of Jones's payment.
