The company was forced into bankruptcy after Sandy Hook families won massive damages for Jones' false and defamatory claims that the school shooting never happened. First United American companies, the group Jones calls the Good Guys, offered $3.5 million in cash for Jones Media Company.
The Onion and the Sandy Hook families offered about half that up front, $1.7 million in cash, plus a promise of future revenues that the families expect to recover from their lawsuit. But the losing bidders say that violates auction rules and amounts to collusion. The trustee overseeing the sale has rejected what he calls the baseless allegation.
A federal bankruptcy judge has ordered a hearing on the sale. Tovia Smith, NPR News.
Pro-Palestinian students led a walkout of classes at several colleges, including Columbia University. Meantime, pro-Israel students there staged an art installation and prayer service. But elsewhere in New York City, it was less peaceful. Like when a pro-Palestinian protester grabbed an Israeli flag from a man who ended up with a bloody nose.
Pro-Palestinian protesters waved flags of their own, along with signs accusing Israel of genocide. Two City University of New York campuses saw what the university called violent vandalism and hateful rhetoric, including smashed windows and divest now spray-painted on a building. School officials say students responsible may be subject to disciplinary actions. Tovia Smith, NPR News.
