Twenty children and six adults were shot dead at Sandy Hook elementary school in Connecticut in 2012.
But Mr Jones claimed the event had been made up by supporters of gun controls and the mainstream media.Mr Jones has long claimed on his radio show and right-wing Infowars website that the attack at Sandy Hook was "completely fake" and a "giant hoax".

It couldn't happen to a more unhinged loon.

The Fox "news" "anchors" and talk show hosts have a lot to answer for.
100% sponsored. At least 50% lies.
Worst - The unending spiels are against the best interests of everybody in that country. And it actually seeps out into the rest of the world.
Honestly that "news" service is a plague on this world.

And a quick reminder, Alex Jones' lawyer let the SH parents lawyer have that info by accident, and then never claimed privilege when notified.

His phone and financials will be shared with other families suing, as well as the J6 committee and the DoJ, and I see his ex wife also wants in on the action.

Also a reminder, not all heroes wear capes...

Pays to be a twat...

During the defamation trial, Bankston displayed an email showing Infowars earned $800,000 in a single day in 2018. That would amount to $300m in a year.

Yup, and it's been engineered that way... You can trace this back to Newt Gingrich, Rupert Murdoch and Roger Ailes in the 90s.

Indeed. And the people who fall for it always seem to think they are the enlightened ones. It's quite remarkable.

You forget the CNN lawsuit against Nick Sandmann

Thinking those other networks are somehow exempt proofs how little one actually knows about US news.

Who in their right mind watches the non-adversarial sham J6 trials?

Caring more about that than the actual judicial abuse many of those participants faced?
Talk about not breaking character...

Sorry, what?
