A judge has ruled that Alex Jones' far-right platform, Infowars, can be sold to help pay the families of Sandy Hook shooting victims. Last year, The Onion had won a court-mandated auction for Infowars' parent company but this was halted by a federal bankruptcy judge. This new ruling paves the way for The Onion to revive its bid. Jones has yet to pay a cent of the more than $1 billion in damages he owes Sandy Hook families for repeated defamatory claims that the massacre was a hoax. On his show on Wednesday, he railed against the families, but says he will keep broadcasting under a different brand. Here's more from @CNN.
