The Onion was named the winning bidder on Nov. 14 over a company affiliated with Alex Jones' company.

The Onion had planned to kick Jones out and relaunch Infowars in January as a parody.

A federal judge rejects The Onion's claim that a recent bankruptcy auction was fraught with illegal collusion.

"I can't imagine the judge would certify this fraud," Jones says on his show.
