Greek yogurt giant Chobani is suing far-right radio host Alex Jones, accusing the conspiracy theorist of publishing false information about the company.

Chobani alleges that Jones and his InfoWars website posted fabricated stories earlier this month that linked Chobani owner Hamdi Ulukaya and the company to a sexual assault case involving refugee children.

The complaint says InfoWars released a video on April 11 falsely claiming that Chobani was “importing migrant rapists,” with the goal of causing customers to boycott its products.

Is this talking about “refugee” hiring or what?

The other scandal I know nothing of.

I wouldn’t buy Chobani products on a bet and I don’t know who Alex Jones is.

If Chobani ends up owning InfoWars, what will they do with it?

Chobani is a freeking government subsidized Islamic mole company.

Ran by a Turkish Muslim guy in Idaho that hires Islamic Refugees and there have been incidents in Idaho of these refugees raping people.

They were awarded lucrative government school lunch contracts during Obama reign of terror.

Back into the memory hole - - -

Meryl Streep and 60 Minutes damaged apple growers with false and exaggerated claims about ALAR. They got off.

Then Oprah went after beef ranchers. Got sued, and she prevailed.

Alex is not of their ilk. He may have trouble.

Discovery will be interesting IF it goes that far. Leftists like to use their legal goons to silence critics.

hey were awarded lucrative government school lunch contracts during Obama reign of terror.

And that is his rags to riches story -- government help. Snopes lies about this fellow importing Muslim refugees, but what do you expect? Alex Jones is wrong on things, but he is correct on this.

They are only asking for 10K in damages. If Jones really defamed them I would think TEY would be seeking much more money.

Well, Chobani was “importing migrant rapists,” so this isn’t going to work out the way they had planned.

“I wouldn’t buy Chobani products on a bet and I don’t know who Alex Jones is”

All of the below were happy to take part in the Nazi-Democrat Pogrom starting with the liquidation of hated Untermensch Bill O’Reilly.

Drugmakers Eli Lilly & Co., GlaxoSmithKline Plc, Bayer AG and Sanofi also removed their commercials as did Mitsubishi Motors Corp., Hyundai Motor Co., BMW of North America, Jaguar Land Rover North America and Mercedes-Benz.

Liberals must make a sh*t load of money... Our taxes mostly

That is almost certainly bad reporting.

The case was filed in Federal Court and you have to allege that you’ve had a minimum of $10,000.00 in damages to trigger subject matter jurisdiction.
