Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Lol I didn't even know they were actually bidding. I saw a Lemmy comment yesterday saying they should, but I didn't think they actually would do it.

Me either. All bidders and bids have been kept private though except for Roger Stone's.

I think they already have control over the domain.

Nope, the judge wasn't told how the auction was being conducted and was upset when he heard about it. He's halted the sale and for now Alex Jones has access to the Infowars studios again.
