Really? The FBI reputation? Steele dossier, Ruby Ridge, Waco, MLK, Whitey Bulger, Michigan Gov. assignation, someones email, etc. on and on.

This is about ONE PARTICULAR AGENT'S personal reputation. Not the same thing at all.

Jones didn't just peddle a false story. He made specific accusations against people, and had no factual basis for those accusations. That's called defamation.

The thing about it is… when stupid people subscribe to stupid conspiracy-claims…. you still can’t fix stupid.

Do you have the right story? The one I read this week was Tina Ramirez having CPS called on her by a liberal reporter who thought her teaching her daughter about Columbus Day was child abuse. Tina Ramirez is a Republican candidate.
I missed the party affiliation on your the post you quoted. Good eye!

I think what he said is ridiculous but.

Jones talks about lizard people/aliens and inter-dimensional beings running the world, crazy stuff like that. Who the h…. would listen to him and takes anything he says serious? He is a caricature and or a parody of a “news” show.
What percentage of the population knew of him before this? I bet a lot more do now, so I’m guessing his viewership will increase, just to see what crazy stuff he may say, making him more money.

Personally, I hope this will set a precedent for the “actual” news agencies out there and what they report as fact’s.

The same people who think the earth is flat and the moon landing was a hoax. They used to listen to a late night AM radio program, too. I think it was called, "Coast to Coast". I would pick it up sometimes if I were out late at night. Incredibly stupid. But it paid well, I'm sure.


But again, this wasn't just spouting crazy stuff. It was specific accusations against specific people. Different ballgame.

We can only hope! And then maybe we can apply the same standard to members of Congress!

Back to Jones.
If I pay someone to burn down my building we both go to jail.
Jones was paid to do what he does/did.
Perhaps a great lawyer should go after Jone's money people. I am sure Infowars has the names of all those people that sent money to keep Jones on the air. If you sent money to help him defame these people you should be just as guilty !

These are good reasons why I think the civil suit & award is just crazy. Who in the world even listens to this guy. Not me.
How many other people have said the same type of crap about every other shooting, fire, flood, hurricane, etc and no billion dollar award.

He had his followers harass and threaten these people. It is bad enough to have school age children slaughtered. Image having that and then having info wars crazies follow you around town harassing you.
I have a relative that lives in Newtown.

he was guilty by a default judgment. the facts of the case were not heard. I do not listen to the guy but feel there is a huge miscarriage of justice in this case. he was not Adam Lanza. he did not kill the kids at sandy hook. he is a conspiracy theorist.

The local cops & citizens should have made life for the harrassers miserable enough to go back to the rock they crawled out from under. If they were sent to harass by Jones then isn't this a criminal act ? In my state some of these morons might have had to confront " stand your ground " defense.
Why would a parent of a victim of this tragedy want to go thru the pain of a civil trial plus all the publicity this has received ? I wouldn't do it for any amount of money .

Alex Jones started in Austin TX. I was in College at the time (25 years or so ago). He was a quack then….and somehow he grew that network significantly. People are listening to him….ridiculous.
