I use to be a prominent, vocal Alex Jones hater. However, i allow evidence to change my view and the fact is the guy is right more often then his detractors are willing to give him credit for.

His problem is that he started in the early days of the internet. We are still figuring out this "discernment" thing as a society since we have basically infinite information available, so there are plenty of people that listened to him that took the reactions to what he said too far.
I have never watched a single info wars episode or listened.
That said, I hope libs keep this same energy celebrating these rulings the next few years. The shoe on the other foot will be very entertaining.

So
The Onion...Along with Sandyhook parents
Bid their money to buy infowars
To satisfy AJ bankruptcy and pay off sandyhook parents and lawyers?
So they are being paid with their own money?
AJ has already started new companies(which I'm sure are structured in a a way to keep them away from any such future nonsense)
when Alex has no further personal assets this is over?

Anyone who spouts that Sandy Hook was a false flag and 9/11 was an inside job deserves all the "hate" they receive.PatriotAg02 said:
I don't get the AJ hate. Dude has been right a lot. I guess it's bc it's the cool thing to do?
The Sandy Hook parents know they aren't getting the money, they just wanted to take him out. This is just them ****posting and rubbing it in.
Alex Jones is crazy.... except for all the times his "conspiracy theories" ended up being true.

"The Onion is proud to acquire Infowars, and we look forward to continuing its storied tradition of scaring the site's users with lies until they fork over their cold, hard cash," said The Onion CEO Ben Collins. "Or Bitcoin. We will also accept Bitcoin."

Hmmmm - that's not really accurate.oh no said:
I had never really heard of Alex Jones until libs started freaking out about him. It seems that he once postulated that the dad of a Sandy Hook victim looked like a crisis actor on his podcast about a decade ago, so he got a BILLION dollar judgement against him.
Quote:
The shooting had barely happened when Jones began pushing the falsehood that it was a hoax. Victims' families who sued Jones said they were subjected to years of torment, threats and abuse by people who believed the lies told on his show. One father said conspiracy theorists urinated on his 7-year-old son's grave and threatened to dig up the coffin.
Alex Jones is one of the worst people in the world and deserves all the bad fortune that comes down upon him.
i ignored it because it's lazy thread derailing whataboutism and straw manning, do better if you want serious repliesWilliam Foster said:I see you dodged the entire question.

Has Alex Jones really drugged women though? Did Whoopi and Joy Behar tell you that?
God forbid someone challenge the Sandy Hook narrative and all that didn't pass the smell test there. Yeah I said it.
The same as when Verizon purchased Tumblr and then banned adult content. Ie buy it for the users who will all abandon it when you eliminate the reason they were users in the first place.pacecar02 said:

So in reality it's more of a Drudge situation. As I mentioned previously: this is terrain denial. Depriving your adversary of an established site in hopes of scattering the users.
Does this slow him down? Sure. But it doesn't stop him. That's the issue. The left's media empire is failing. Ratings are down, news is basically dead on OTA TV, they tried before and are trying again to build a radio network to counter talk radio (which is also dying), they've destroyed a friendly podcast ecosystem and turned it sharply right, they're two steps behind on online media, and without that ecosystem they'll be in much rougher shape.
So good luck.
Also if it were me, I would have reformatted all the computers (twice) and installed a bunch of viruses.

anyone is free to hate him; msm caught wind of some things he said and programmed the masses to hate him. fine. a billion dollar judgement just doesn't seem like justice for someone's words though. the shoe could be on the other foot one day and a place where you can be destroyed for your words probably isn't a place you want even though your hatred and ignorance has you celebrating it right now.

not everything boils down to left vs right. it's ok to say somebody is an idiot even if they vote the same way you do.

It's also okay for someone to express differing opinions on an event without being fined close to a billion dollars in America. You calling someone else a clown is rich, though.bangobango said:

You lose a child in a school shooting. A radio talk show host goes on a daily rant about how you're full of **** and the whole thing is fake and you really didn't lose your kid. He does this over and over and over and over again, and eventually his followers start showing up outside your house echoing the sentiment that the whole thing is fake. They don't leave, and their numbers increase to the point where you've got to move to get away from them. Then they find your new residence and you've got to move again, because they believe you're full of **** and they are gonna be outside your home daily proclaiming that you're full of **** and that the death of your child never happened.
Hypothetically, all of this happens to you. In reality, it did happen to the Sandy Hook parents.
Do you give a **** about Alex Jones' free speech at this point? Some people get what they deserve.

But do you think you calling him a lizard person means he can sue you for $1.5 billion because "reasons"?Phatbob said:He might be right on more things than the View, but when he is wrong, he is crazy wrong. And the inability for him to see the difference between when he is right and the crazy way off 10% is the problem. I can list 10 things about you that 9 of them are true, but also that you are a lizard person who lives under the Vatican. That still makes me crazy.Get Off My Lawn said:Terrain denial.aTmAg said:
Why would anybody buy it? Isn't it basically going bankrupt? Wouldn't that be like buying the Titanic after it hit the iceberg?
Am I missing something?
None of the clapping seals have actually listened to Jones: they've formed strong emotional options off of the MSM portrayal and their selective clips.
The truth is Jones primarily highlights things the media publishes but spun in the opposite direction. Watch him with Rogan and you'll see nearly everything he rants and screams about is based on MSM reported events.
Is he my cup of tea? No. He has a highly emotional delivery that I can't take in large doses. But if he were 100% crazy he wouldn't be a threat the left is invested in destroying. He has a following because he's actually right 90%+ of the time. He's known for being terribly wrong in one very unwise story, but he's far less dangerous or dishonest than The View.
I use to call him a clown too. Like viscuosly. All the crap he use to spew about the Bildebergs seemed cooky and crazy to me.
Then every year the WEF would do almost exactly what he was trying to warn people about. Then covid happened and you saw globally tyrany at levels I never would have imagined.
Then the deep state used every method they could come up with to bury the duly elected president of the United States. Then I opened my eyes to what a total sleeze ball Dick Cheney is. Then the three letters agencies staged a "coup" so they could arrest political dissenters.
So now? I'm going to still take all of his takes with a massive dose of salt. But I'm gonna remember them. And keep my eyes open.

He's never been my cup of tea, but I do think his haters are overestimating the L he's taking.
To me it's pretty obvious he took advantage of the delay strategies to move a ton of the assets out of his company and to friends/family shelters. He maneuvered most of the previously created value out.
He's also the draw, or value in his business model. He will come up with a new ownership structure (again with the monetization being held by friends and family) and relaunch. If anything, the increased publicity of this fight will make him a bigger draw - increasing his enterprise value.
I don't see the L for him. I would bet money his true net worth is going to increase as a result of all this.
