If Alex Jones who is perceived as a pro-Trump and an anti-establishment figure is penalized for spreading misinformation but the Democrats establishment loyalists who peddle insane conspiracy theories are honored with Pulitzer prizes something is gravely wrong.

It is all about getting Trump.
Bingo. This is partisan Leftist Democrat lawfare against a political opponent.
What’s really pathetic are the Conservatives who have been taken in by this to the point that they support the hard Left Democrat narrative spewed by the same lying corporate media that spews so many other lies and conspiracy theories about various political opponents. Have they not learned a damned thing yet? You obviously cannot trust the narratives you get from the corporate media. You’d be better off assuming the EXACT OPPOSITE of anything they say about any subject and then going and looking for the facts on that basis. More often than not, your assumptions of reality being the exact opposite of what the corporate media claims will be borne out.
The guy goes on world wide media and lies about the slaughter of children...and its about Trump?
Not everything is about Trump.
Sometimes A-holes are just A-holes.
5 years ago you would have had an article from infowars kicked off FR. And now, he is some crusader for Trump.
I like Alex jones but he was wrong to lie about these people’s kids being murdered.
And when he was called on it he should have corrected himself.
You are a Nevertrumper. So you have no idea what you are talking about as usual.
Didn’t notable lefties say that Bush was behind 9/11 and it was an “inside job”?
Can the families sue all those folks? Van Jones, etc., for those comments?
Notice absolute crickets about free speech and First Amendment from NYT, WaPo, entire MSM because “it’s just that crazy guy, Alex Jones” when the implications of this can open the door for lawsuits over ‘conspiracies’ of all types.
Btw, notice how many of the conspiracies turn out to be accurate? Fast & Furious. Gulf of Tonkin. UFOs. etc.
The entirety of MSM repeated the “Russian Dossier” collusion hoax. Who can Trump sue over that? What about the voters that were forced to go through fake impeachment?
This is all about hurting Trump and anyone deemed to be a supporter. Hope it is reversed on appeal.
I don’t think they’re ours. Haven’t figured out exactly how it works yet, but maybe they are bots. Or paid... because some of them are a lot dumber than others. Or maybe both?
When an issue is hot and sufficiently nebulous to be able to influence, they swarm out of the ether. It happened with this issue.
It happened with the Ukraine and the COVID issue too.
Thomas Massie posted a pic on twitter of him and his family all holding evil black rifles. You should have seen the vile things leftists said about them.
They say vile things about all conservatives. Jones just has a bigger soap box. CNN/MSNBC personalities have said vile things about Trump and his family. They have an even bigger soap box than Jones. Do you think a case against them would ever be successful?
Correct me if I am wrong, but I herd AJ back when this was going on. He did think something hinky went on, looked weird, maybe a false flag, but he also would speak to it could be just a psycho Young male, then take a bunch of calls, pro and con from both sides. I didn’t follow very closely, but that is what I remember. Also, the media didn’t care at the time. I think he even went on the ridiculous View. Looks like he is part of the Trump erasure to me....
Really? Never Trumper? I voted for the guy four times.
Do I want him to run now? Nope. He is too old. He is a walking stroke, just waiting to happen. All jabbed up, overweight, and he will be almost 80 on election day.
Nope—enough of the old smell. We need to get some younger blood.
It is the Trump cultists on FR that have their eyes wide shut.
Most of the cancel culture is the government working within Google Twitter and FB to cancel anti-government speak. The swamp has editorial control of those companies. And they are using it to fight controversies involving vaccines, Epstein, The Ukraine war, Hunter Biden and many other swamp issues that are hidden within woke-ism. The swamp has thousands of employees working inside those companies. And they are protecting their own agenda. The racism issues are only a smoke screen.
If you think that is what his trial was about, you might want to do some research.
He started out saying that the event did not happen. Then he went on and on about how the parents were actors. Then he doubled down and told the parents their kids were not dead.
Most of the children were found in a bathroom with their heads blown off.
Alex Jones is a vile creature who ONLY cares about Alex Jones. If you think he is an ally of your political heroes...you need to examine your definition of ally.
Alex Jones does not do service to this country. He is a kook and a liar.
Oh, we are indeed conservative members in good standing. We just understand that Alex Jones is a sensationalist liar.
He was ‘targeted’ by people he defamed. Parents of children brutally killed that he used his platform to claim were actors participating in a hoax.
That’s how he got “targeted.”
Those of you defending this should be ashamed of yourselves.
You would have rightly sued as well if someone did something like this to you, and you know it.
Did he lie? He thought it really happened. The internet questioned it. And he read an article written by someone else on the matter. It doesn’t matter that families were offended. I’m not a special pleader for him, but it’s everyone’s right to question.
Says the person who posted lies about Kathy Barnette and never retracted or apologized for posting the false information - that she supported BLM and defunding the police, etc. All absolutely false - but you still posted it and would not retract it despite repeated requests.

There is certainly hypocrisy here. But there is also a significant difference. Trump (and arguably his family) are public figures. The courts give wide latitude when the target is a public figure.
Jones targeted private individuals. The courts are much less forgiving in those cases.
As an example, I could publish a paper claiming - with very little proof - that Joe Biden is a drug addict. Biden could sue me, but he would lose. If I did the same thing, now claiming my next door neighbor was a drug addict, I would probably lose.
