Bankruptcy judge rejects The Onion’s bid to buy Alex Jones’ Infowars

The ruling dashed, at least for now, the plans of The Onion’s parent company to take over Infowars and radically shift its content.

Aw man, that’s some bullshit
- At least we now know why Musk was upset. He intended to buy it and hand it right back to Alex Jones. Can't have the "alt-right" media sphere disappearing.
Booooo!
Wait a second. A judge blocked the Onion from buying the site at auction because... he thinks it should have sold for more? My brother in Christ, do you understand what an auction is?!
- Specifically, he thought the trustee should have allowed the other LLC (which is totally not affiliated with him yet only exists to shelter his supplement business) more time to counteroffer.
  
  But that makes no sense. It's an auction. There's a time limit. It's not an acquisition. You're being forced to sell something.
lame
Deny. Defend. Depose.
- Context. Volume. Relevance.
I thought they'd already bought it, I didn't know it was still in question. What a bummer. This was going to be hilarious.
No justice, no peace! Give them Infowars!
not cool bro. not cool.
