Alex Jones, far-right nit job, to pay nearly US$ 1 billion

Yeah, that place out 'there'. Anything not really Cambodia related should go here.

Post by hanno »

Ouch!. Of course, the amount is ridiculous, and of course he will never be able to pay that, but still:

Good. Not just because he's a despicable piece of shit, but also because (hopefully) it'll make others like him think twice before doing the same thing.

Still what?
He's been a maniac for longer than anyone cares to remember, made millions & millions with his "agit prformance art".
He's gonna file chapter 11. So what?
Can't keep a cancer like him down for long.

Here's to hoping i'm wrong & indeed he'll craw back to under that rock.

I barely know the guy, apart from the fact he's famous for screaming conspiracy theories at cameras through his bloated face that's a shade of, I like to call 'alcoholic red'.

From what I gather, someone sued him for defamation. And I also understand that nobody takes him seriously anyway. So I'm not quite sure how those two facts go together myself.

The thing is, people do take him seriously. The parents of the school kids who were killed have been having to deal with nutters harassing them, threats,abuse, having their kids' graves vandalised, some have had to move from their homes ... all because people believe Alex Jones when he said says their kids were actors and that they weren't actually victims of a school shooting.

Wikipedia:
Reports in 2017 stated that the InfoWars website received approximately 10 million monthly visits, making its reach greater than some mainstream news websites such as The Economist and Newsweek at the time.

tell a lie often enough, it becomes the truth

This is a concern of mine. Lawsuits like this can open a can of worms leading to more (and more ridiculous) accusations of defamation.

PS-I am not a fan of Alex Jones.
