Here’s Why I Decided To Buy ‘InfoWars’ By Bryce P. Tetraeder, Global Tetrahedron CEO ☞ https://theonion.com/heres-why-i-decided-to-buy-infowars/

And let me say, I really do see it as a family. Much like family members, our brands are abstract nodes of wealth, interchangeable assets for their patriarch to absorb and discard according to the opaque whims of the market. And just like family members, our brands regard one another with mutual suspicion and malice.

Will anyone visiting know the difference?

The onion is a satirical takes on the news. Infowars is just utter nonsense.

Infowars could claim that immigrants are using teleporters to enter the country and its readership would believe it.

Yeah, that's my point. The idiots visiting it won't get satire.
