Keep the programming exactly the same but give Alex Jones an electric shock every time he lies.

Poor thing lit up like a tinderbox in 7 seconds

People want Elon Musk to buy it but I think having someone already in the media space purchasing it would make more sense. Could be the Tucker Carlson Network, some random rich right winger as the article implies, or a consortium of various organizations and figures like Tucker Carlson, Elon Musk, heck maybe even the people who created Tenet Media lol

To what end? Just to keep someone else from buying it and reviving it? Maybe hiring Alex back? Seems like an awfully big cost that just helps Alex pay his bills. And he will almost definitely be replatformed by someone anyway. Let some right wing knob dump their cash on the psycho and put your money to better use.

I think the goal would be to get rid of Alex Jones' show. IDK the legal details but it's possible that copyright issues could keep Alex Jones from spinning up a copycat show without having his contract with the company formally severed. I'm also guessing whoever owns the company would have the power to sever the connections to whatever terrestrial radio stations still carry his program.

Hate will always find a way. We must remain vigilant.

Apparently mentioning InfoWars or Alex Jones is a surefire way to bring out the low effort trolls.

Hire Will Sasso to play Alex Jones but doing left wing news

Let MSNBC buy it and give it to Rachel Maddow for a hobby.
