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?"

"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?
