Look how long they lied about people involved with Hunter's laptop and Russiagate (years) and then never apologized. And there is so much more. In many cases they lost employment and had to declare bankruptcy.

Make sure you throw FOX in there too!! Pushing the lie that the election was stolen!

I don't ever remember CNN or whoever you are referring to as the rent-a-chief spewing lies about the Sandy Hook kids being slaughtered or that is was a hoax and child actors. This is about Alex Jones and his goofy followers.

to collect a difficult thing to PROOVE.

Journalistic ETHICS on either side have gone out of the window. The LAW, we crossed that line with the kid, the rent a chief and CNN.

His intent was to do harm, and the 45 million in addition he has to pay may get his attention.

And it’s not like Jones killed the child, even though he lied. This goes for damages country-wide. Sometimes gigantic awards are made to opioid addicts who have been receiving welfare benefits most of their life. Were they ever going to earn that much?

Make the punishment fit the crime. Maybe cut out his tongue. Or better yet, ban him from all forms of public dissemination of information true or false for life.

I like the cut out his tongue part. Maybe rapists should have the same type of punishment too

In Germany you can be arrested for being a holocaust denier. This is just as bad and as it's personal to the families I find it really disgusting that he be allowed to spew his filth

What is a worst crime.

Alex Jones is a conman that went too far. He had been spinning his nonsense even before Sandy Hook and making a lot of money doing it. He knew what he was saying was false, but he didn't care. What was worse is that he was lying to his own followers, and they bought into it. Not only did his followers believe his lies, but these are the type of people that take action.
You can say his believers are a fringe group, but I think we are becoming aware that followers of these outlandish stories rank in the millions. It doesn't matter what proof you put in front of them, they would rather believe there is a conspiracy behind it all.

Just another case of our 2 tiered justice system.

I know this is about Alex Jones, but think about how many followers and believers he has. That's a reality check that makes you wonder.

In this case there are not a few but many dishonest people in the media. This is what makes people like Alex Jones possible.

This process halted in 2020. At no time in 2020 did the legislative body's in these States pass laws to change the time, place and manner of its elections, therefore the States violated the US Constition. This was not ok! And if it doesn't bother you even a tiny little bit, or make you question the legitimacy of the 2020 election, well then, I've got some ice to sell you in Alaska.

There's but one national media news outlet (FOX) for conservative principals i.e., conserve the founding, conserve founding principles, conserve freedom. Ask yourself why. Why is there only one conservative NEWS media outlet? I think FOX is all alone in the wilderness. All others are perhaps more like the propagandists doing the bidding of Hitler. Or in this case for the D's. They're not truth speakers, they're simply propagandists like wolves in sheep's clothing. If you don't know the constitution you can't know America.

This response is just food for your thought. Have an open mind. Hatred for one is hatred for all. No peace no love. Know peace know love.

Peace be with you all!

“ It’s Not A Lie If You Believe It.” There are 2 other news outlets in competition for conservative viewership OAN and NEWSMAX. Although more extreme than Fox exploiting conspiracy theories.
