I’m not sure if OP means this, but given that the acquisition headline has been posted 500 times today, I assume they meant “what’s the deal with the desk?”
If you knew what InfoWars was at all, it would be pretty obvious, you don’t need to have watched much (which I didn’t, just saw the meme clips). InfoWars was one dude sitting at a desk screaming about conspiracy theories and selling snake oil for hours and hours, that’s all it was. The desk was the only other thing on screen besides Alex Jones afaik. There was nothing special about it, but there was also no other part of the office “featured” on the show. Plus it says “InfoWars” in giant letters on it, so that should make for a fun prop for The Onion.
The Onion bought InfoWars

OMG, that is awesome! They have a limited amount of time to capitalize on that before all the Infowars drones catch on.
Forget that, just lease the desk to a company that makes gay and trans porn and have people fuck on it.
that’s not what jones used it for?
No. Im suggesting penis on the desk, not an enormous cunt.
There was nothing else in the news today but this. Every person on the planet knows at this point.
Except the person who just asked what it was about, I imagine that’s why they asked .
Not when they exclusively get their news from fox, tucker, and Alex Jones. Most probably have no clue. One downside to isolationist media.

“It’s the desk from InfoWars, which The Onion just bought.”
Better? Sorry I assumed y’all could put two and two together (it’s four, btw).
I guess “the desk” is something that people who watch infowars know about? “The desk from infowars” doesn’t give the rest of us any context.
Why didn’t they ask about the carpet, or the refrigerator? What’s so special about the desk?

Everything I know about InfoWars I read. Every picture I’ve seen of Alex Jones is him outside or a closeup of his face.
But I did see the picture of the desk that somebody else posted and I understand now why having it would be a big deal.
Okay, I did a bit of googling and I think they refer to this desk:
Which… I guess… is iconic if you watch InfoWars?
This whole conversation makes this post make a lot more sense.
