He's trying to save himself by saying that his show is "90% hard news/punditry."
So maybe when he said Sandy Hook was a fake, like the moon landings, those were the other 10%.

Really good, by one of the people covering the court case. . An illustrated transcript of Jones latest desperate attempt to keep in with his fans whilst his legal team keep trying to help him out by saying he's a fake.

Alex is taking it well.

Absolutely faultless straightfacery from the guy to his right - barely a hint of WAIT WHAT THE FUCK>>? across his fizzog throughout the entire onscreen breakdown.

ETA:

Though watch him at 16sec, where he slightly turns his head, and you can see him blinking in Morse code, SAVE ME, SAVE ME NOW OR KILL ME

I always thought Alex wasn't into the whole David icke vibration worldview. He's been spending too much time smoking with that other credulous fool, Joe rogan

Unfortunately, he's not going away. This last Sunday he was on Megan Kelly's new show on NBC briefly to advertise a larger interview next week. He hasn't learned anything by the looks of things. He immediately went into Sandy Hook "truthing". He's almost gotten people killed with this shit and he's still at it. In any case, it lost NBC an advertiser:

According to a report from the Wall Street Journal, JP Morgan Chase is pulling local and internet advertising dollars from NBC in the wake of backlash over Megyn Kelly’s interview with InfoWars founder and crackpot conspiracy theorist Alex Jones.

Citing a source close to the matter, WSJ reports that the banking giant does not want its brand appearing with promotions for the interview which is set to air in its entirety on the June 18 edition of Sunday Night with Megyn Kelly. Kelly posted a preview of the interview to her official Twitter account on Sunday.

Speaking out on Twitter this Sunday, JP Morgan Chase Chief Marketing Officer Kristen Lemkau slammed the network for giving Jones, who’s claimed that the Sandy Hook school massacre was a staged “false flag” event, such a huge platform.

“As an advertiser, I’m repulsed that @megynkelly would give a second of airtime to someone who says Sandy Hook and Aurora are hoaxes.

On an entirely related note, a woman was sentenced in a Sandy Hook stalking/threats case:

A Florida woman pleaded guilty and was sent to prison Wednesday for threatening a man whose 6-year-old son was killed in the 2012 mass shooting at a Connecticut school, which she contended was a hoax.

Senior U.S. District Judge James Cohn sentenced Lucy Richards, 57, to five months in prison, followed by five months of home detention. She pleaded guilty to interstate transmission of a threat to injure in communications with Lenny Pozner, the father of Noah Pozner, who died in the Sandy Hook school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut.

Cohn called Richards' actions toward Pozner "disturbing" and said no one should cite a conspiracy theory or belief in a hoax in the deaths of 20 children and six adults that occurred at the school. ....

Investigators say Richards made four voicemail and email threats to Pozner on Jan. 10, 2016, after viewing internet sites claiming the shooting was a hoax aimed at curtailing Americans' Second Amendment gun ownership rights. The messages said things such as "you gonna die, death is coming to you real soon" and "LOOK BEHIND YOU IT IS DEATH."

I wonder what variety of slime is going to ooze forth after next week's longer interview.

Yes, that must be it.

I quite like Joe Rogan. Not really an Alex Jones character at all. Not even in the same ballpark.

He's not as batshit gonzo, but he's not particularly rational. He's very credulous and far too sympathetic to alt right scumbags. He's another of these #pseudo intellectuals' who think that everyone's views are equal. They aren't. Defending cunts like Richard Spencer under freeze peach notions is laughable. I find Joe Rogan pretty laughable personally. He just isn't insane like Alex

Megyn Kelly (ex-fox news harridan now with NBC) is getting an enormous amount of flack (justifiably) for taping an interview with. Jones has decided that the interview was a "gotcha" ambush and has released recordings of pre-interview conversations with Jones, where she comes off as disgustingly sycophantic. She's also facing backlash from the families of the Sandy Hook victims. She offered them a "right to respond" to Jones' conspiracy theories, and the families, rightly, told her to fuck off, as this isn't a debate, one side just consists of delusional baseless conspiracy theories that even Jones won't defend any more.

Anyway Kelly and Jones come out of this awful, which is an added bonus.

In another case related to Alex Jones scaremongering, the Pizzagate gunman was sentenced to four years.

The 'Pizzagate' conspiracy claims Hillary Clinton and her campaign chief John Podesta ran a child sex abuse ring at the Comet Ping Pong pizzeria in Washinton DC.

Some of the rumors claimed that kidnapped and trafficked children were being kept in the pizzeria's back rooms and secret tunnels where they were being molested.

Staff at the restaurant received a number of death threats after the fake news was shared on social media.

It started when emails belonging to Clinton's campaign manager, John Podesta, were released by WikiLeaks. The owner of the pizza shop, James Alefantis, was mentioned in the emails. He is a Democrat supporter and was talking about a fundraiser.

Users on the online message board 4Chan speculated Alefantis' Comet Ping Pong was part of a Democratic child trafficking ring and rumors swirled on social media, including Reddit and Twitter.

Reddit eventually took the step of banning the topic from its message boards.

There has been no evidence of the so-called abuse, no investigation and no victims.

It was only luck that someone wasn't hurt.

John Oliver takes a swing and a hit at Alex.



Worth it alone for the point about at about 8:30 where Jones drinks his own "delicious" Paleo health shake made with chicken bones.

 

[petee]

well, of course he did

Alex Jones calls Charlottesville violence a false flag, because alternative facts are still a thing

 

[DotCommunist]

it'll be news when something happens and Jones says 'no, I think this is exactly what it looks like, no sinister hand at work here'

 

[Yuwipi Woman]

If he didn't, he'd have to deal with his own culpability in inciting the Alt-Right.

Can we get rid of the idea that somebody having the piss taken out of them by two of the smuggest people of all time actually "discredits" them to anyone who would have believed them in the first place? All it is is publicity and increased acceptance as somebody serious.

After pondering this post for four years...

I agree that anyone watching The Sunday Politics is unlikely to often frequent InfoWars.

However...

I think it's important that people are aware of the existence and nature of Jones and their ilk. What happens all too often is their acolytes will present friends and relatives with "facts" that they've picked up from Prison Planet etc. There are members of the older generations that will take these on faith, particularly when presented by a younger relative. Awareness that this kind of tripemonger exists, and has a high degree of influence amongst conspiracy theorists, can encourage a greater degree of healthy skepticism.

For example, if my mum had seen this televised display by Jones - which she may well have done, despite not being massively politically engaged - and one of her younger relatives then mentioned Jones or his websites during a discussion at a later date, I have no doubt it would serve as a huge red flag for her, whereas she may have given their statements more credence before.

Hope it was worth the wait.

So do the Tories. If we can't have threads on anyone that 'thrives on the oxygen of publicity' on Urban, it's going to become more like Club Penguin.

I don't think we're really particularly influential, more's the pity.

The Soros thing is so important to them, the mans 87 now I wonder how they'll cope when he dies, they'll have to find a new Jew to blame everything they don't like on.

Had a pointless argument with a conspira-nutter on facebook yesterday, who claimed that Soros funded the alt-right, antifa and the KKK. She couldn't explain WHY old turtle face was funding all sides - aside from bleating "false flag" - beyond references to "Rothschild bankers".

Like you say, when this particular Jew - supposedly a member of the SS, according to Alex Jones and his followers, although the SS had a rigorous check into family history, and you couldn't become a member (even an honourary member) without definitively proving you were of Aryan stock - dies, another one will have to be found, on whom to cast the sorrows of the world.

Off topic.

Still no sign of my cheque.
