Do they have rights to use Jones' likeness, in the sense of reposting old clips and the like?

Best news I've seen in weeks
Wait, what? Which parts of this are satire now? I read the Onion piece that Global Tetrahedron was purchasing InfoWars, but this is a Guardian story saying The Onion is purchasing it? I'm a bit confused.
I mean, it’s already half way there, all they got to do is make it funny
Does this mean they're Alex Jones's boss now?
Makes sense. They keep him contained somewhere to ramble, while appropriately inducted and vetted comedians interpret, neutralize and transmit his bullshit and make it funny.
An oracle of comedy situation.
Aside from the official licensing, you essentially just described Knowledge Fight.
Next week's headlines "Alex Jones appointed as Secretary of State" or some other wackass shit.
That pushed me over the edge to subscribe to the print edition
I thought that was a joke. But regular news sites are running the story. So maybe it's real?
Oh my god what a power move. More power to them, seriously. Best outcome we could have gotten
It took me a while to realize this is actually true. Reality is amazing.
They should run it like it was. Then in about a year, just subtly start changing the context. Then before you know it, they are going to start supporting progressive topics.
THEY TURNED THE FREAKIN FROG GAY!!!!!!!
ITS NOT FUNNY!!!
Lol I am so happy about this.
This just made my day
