MS NOW Chief Political Reporter Chris Jansing spoke with Democratic party leaders in multiple states on their plan for voter protection this midterm election. Also, Senator Jon Ossoff (D-GA) trolled President Trump at a rally over the weekend. Former U.S. attorney Joyce Vance, MS NOW Business Analyst Ron Insana and CEO of "The Onion" Ben Collins join Stephanie Ruhle to discuss.
“Is this a joke??” asked one critic. Added another: “Is this for real? Seems satirical to me. Maybe I opened the link to The Onion by mistake.”
The state's highest court will now consider a deal that would allow the Onion to license the Infowars brand name and turn the show into a mockery of itself.
A Texas appeals court granted Jones's request to pause a deal that would allow the satirical website The Onion to license the Infowars brand name and turn the show into a mockery of itself.
The Onion CEO Ben Collins said a court still needs to approve the new deal, but if it goes through, the satire website would pay a monthly licensing fee to the court-appointed receiver overseeing InfoWars.
The Onion says it has a new deal to take over conspiracy theorist Alex Jones's Infowars media company. If approved, the satirical news website could turn Infowars into a parody of itself.
A new deal, which would allow The Onion to use the Infowars name and website address, must be approved by a Texas judge.
