InfoWars is finally back, but not quite as you remember it [1]

['Grant St. Clair']

Date: 2026-07-08  

Satirical newspaper The Onion's acquisition of infamous conspiracy-theorist "news" platform InfoWars has been a long time coming. This is, in large part, thanks to its inherent connection to previous owner Alex Jones' long legal battles, which resulted in the court order to liquidate the platform in the first place.

Everything seems just about settled, though, and InfoWars has officially produced its first piece of content under the watchful eye of comedian Tim Heidecker, who is serving as the new face of the platform. The first episode of "Emergency with Tim Heidecker" is thirty minutes of blistering, eye-watering ranting that honestly doesn't feel too far removed from the kind of content Jones would genuinely create.

How do you parody that which is already farcical? Heidecker is sure trying.

It's a real shame about Alex Jones' sudden spontaneous explosion.
