Analysis Summary
The Onion is launching a parodic version of Alex Jones' Infowars on Thursday evening across YouTube and Twitch—a remarkable development given The Onion's ownership of the platform after Jones lost a $1.4 billion Sandy Hook defamation judgment. The company has been raising money for Sandy Hook families through Infowars merchandise while Jones continues fighting the takeover in court, making this a high-stakes media and legal story with significant implications for both parody rights and how platforms handle conspiracy content.

“InfoWars launches live at 8 p.m. ET on YouTube, Twitch Thursday”
Washington Post and Press Gazette confirm The Onion's Infowars launch. Press Gazette reports July 2 launch (Thursday evening ET matches post timing). Multiple T1 sources verify the event is happening.
“AMERICA: Birth of a Nation airs Friday at 8 p.m. ET on all Onion channels”
Post mentions this Onion programming but independent search results do not confirm the specific title, time, or Friday air date. May be accurate but cannot be independently verified from available sources.
