US satirical publication The Onion has proposed a new plan to take over Infowars, the media company run by right-wing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones.

The Onion's proposal, which requires approval from a judge, would involve a licensing arrangement that would allow it to publish its own parody content on Infowars' platforms.
