the MSM is not taking him to court.

I mainly watch CNN, local news, and PBS. I've never heard any of these news outlets mention infowars. why should they? 99.9% of people know he's a kook. he's not worth mentioning. in fact, if the MSM ever DID reference something from infowars (other than ), I would find that suspect.

however, as I stated, never heard him or his show talked about on MSM.

Exactly.

It's not "the MSM" trying to destroy Alex Jones, it's people who aren't complain fools and whack jobs who want to destroy Alex Jones.

Again, watch this video, these 2 complete losers are Alex Jones faithful:

What if Jimmy Kimmel, Joy Behr, or Howard Stern tells a distasteful joke to get laughs, no matter how much the truth is stretched? Do they have to walk it back? Do they get sued?

This is about hurt feelings. Not slander, libel or defamation of character.
These people have brought themselves into the public light.

It's giving him enough rope to hang himself. Nobody is afraid of Alex Jones. He's a joke, a professional troll, a muckraker. In fact, my teenage son's group of friends used to find him absolutely hilarious. Not interesting or thought-provoking, but unintentionally funny. He's a buffoon. He went too far when he went after the families of dead school children. Now he's not so funny. He's pathetic, and a windbag. He is the very definition of "fake news." He has his listeners/followers twisted and manipulated so much--not only do they fork over hard-earned money for useless pills, they buy into these insane scenarios that have zero relationship with reality. It would be just sad if it weren't for the people who he's hurt.

So all this fuss over a slimy huckster? It's sad, too. He's got you and so many others fooled into thinking he's some sort of all-knowing oracle-uttering sage. He's not, he's laughing at all of you while he gets rich on the very ones he's bilking. He has so little regard for his loyal subjects, I don't understand how people are taken in by this.

By my estimation, that's FIVE years after Sandy Hook.

Because the Lamestream Media keep bringing it up.
Is your memory so short, you forget the Megan Kelly interview with Alex Jones?
The one cut all up and edited from 14 hours of footage, to make him appear to say things about Sandy Hook he didn't in the context presented by Megan Kelly.

You being told what he said, not watching the entire segments for yourself.

Infowars' Alex Jones Sued For Sandy Hook Comments | Fortune

"LAST April," as in 2017.


There are none so blind...

OK! It is based upon Megan Kellys bad edited interview.

I cannot say that I disagree with Alex Jones 100% in the past, I think his point of view at times were interesting.

But this time, he lost it. He crossed the line.

You should tune in now. Like we have fun watching CNN and MSNBC on election night, you would get a kick over Alex losing it over this lawsuit right now on air.....
