As you’ve probably heard, The Onion is in the process of taking over InfoWars, the platform started by right-wing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones. 
How is this a design story, you may ask? Well, we’ve got an interview with the creative director for new InfoWars — Tim Heidecker. 
Liz sat down with Tim and Fast Company’s Lilly Smith, who has been reporting on The Onion’s InfoWars takeover, to talk about Tim’s vision for the platform.
