In short:

The satirical news website The Onion, which claims to have 4.3 trillion daily readers, will partner with a gun violence prevention organisation to relaunch the conspiracy website, Infowars.

Infowars’ founder Alex Jones claimed the Sandy Hook shooting was a hoax conducted by crisis actors.

What’s next?

Jones has vowed to file legal challenges to stop The Onion taking his site.

I’m sure the editors at the onion are up for the challenge. I imagine a scenario where they turn infowars to a legit news outlet. It would be hilarious 😆

The Onion presenting absurd stories seriously while Infowars does legit news in the style of a conspiracy nut sounds amazing.
