Comparing himself to fucking Woodward and Bernstein 😂
regardless of your opinion on alex jones the lawsuit is pretty stupid tbh
i don't see how making up some stupid conspiracy theory equates to defamation
Simple, Alex: just admit that the Sandy Hook shooting really happened and you made up a conspiracy theory about it because you can't come to terms with how shockingly easy it is for someone to slaughter children in America
So you don't see why accusing people of being fakes in a national tragedy might be slightly defamatory?
nobody with half a brain takes alex jones seriously. if anything they just got even more public sympathy
He publicly claimed that the parents' grieving for their murdered children was just an act, and that they were part of a conspiracy. The parents of the murdered children have received death threats from Jones' followers because of what he's said about them.
Here's the criteria for defamation in Connecticut, where the case is being tried:
Establishing a Connecticut defamation claim requires the following:
The statement under review must be false. The false statement can be made willfully, recklessly or negligently;
The statement must have been “published” or communicated to a third party. Privately accusing another person of egregious conduct, without the accusation heard by a third party, will not support a defamation claim in CT;
The statement under review must identify the defamed party, but the identification need not be made only by name. For instance, if someone falsely states, “My business partner is a thief” and the third person knows the business partner, that is enough to launch a successful claim;
The subject must suffer reputational damage as a result of the statement. Whether the claimant actually suffered damage is usually a question for a jury or judge to decide.
You went from "it's not defamation" to "lol who cares". At least stick with one form of bullshit, dude.
I'll defend a lot of shit people say, to the point where people have called me out for it before
but I'm not going to defend the shit Alex said about the shooting victims. Noooo fuckin' way.
His insane conspiracy theory against them is just outright insulting and defamatory.
damn, well i stand corrected. let it proceed
So not only are we going with 'who cares', we're also just gonna blatantly ignore the fact that people are actually being harassed because of these nutjobs?
k
why are you still trying this really weird "tudd, right wing poster on facepunch" gimmick
why does it bother you so much
Alex Jones please leave my state alone I really don't want to have to hear about you on local news outlets, stick to being a meme
Tudd didn't admit he was wrong though
thats why its so obvious!
You should consider looking into getting glasses then.
Maybe he can claim he went on another big ol' bowl of chilli binge and created the falsehoods because of the euphoric chilli high.
Oh Hillary brainwashed him to say it.
Of course Jones has cleaned up his act sinc-

Alex Jones does not live in reality.
Every thread I see him post in is pure idiocy
The gay frogs will come to his aid.
Because he's playing an exaggerated character of himself to take advantage of other nutjobs for money.
He's been doing it for so long that I don't believe there is an exaggerated character. This is who he is and I won't believe for a second that it's fake or that he's some sort of controlled opposition.
At this point you're probably right. I don't think he was this crazy from the beginning, though.
No no, Alex Jones is actually this is insane. He's always been crazy, he was one of the first to claim that 9/11 was an inside job by the Bush Admin. In fact it could be argued that he created it.
I used to be a die hard conspiracy theorist, AJ is well known since the 1990s and also very very reviled even inside the community for what they consider to be pandering to the conservatives who have their own religious orthodoxy of Satan conspiracies around the Templars.
