I understand perfectly well. You don’t accept that he IS a liar, that he DID defame these people,...

Gonna butt into this argument for a moment:

To be clear, I don't think the conspiracy theories about Sandy Hook being fake are even the least bit true. I just am not sure that Alex Jones was guilty of maliciously promoting them. I've heard different stories about events concerning Alex Jones and the related conspiracy theories, and as far as I know he really only entertained the notion briefly when the facts were not well established. Its possible that the narrative that he was a malicious promoter and slanderer is true and not that more innocent narrative. I have not really researched the matter.

But I do not consider it a moral defect to condemn when I am not sure. Even if there is social pressure put upon me to condemn. Even if the subject is of a very delicate nature.

Back in the days of maximum silliness about Sandy Hook Jones and Infowars were the primary source on FR for the conspiracy nonsense. He found an eager audience in that one and kept on hammering that nail. He became the poster boy for the whole thing. By no means the sole source, but certainly the one profiting the most.
