A Texas appeals court paused The Onion's deal to license Alex Jones's Infowars brand on Wednesday night, granting Jones an emergency stay while his appeal continues — a routine appellate procedure, not a special law written for him. The post frames it as if Jones is getting a custom legal carveout, which misreads what happened. The Onion's takeover, backed by Sandy Hook families who won over $1.3 billion in defamation judgments, is on hold but not dead — Jones is being forced out of the Infowars studio anyway and the receiver is still working to liquidate his assets to pay the families.
