Alex Jones has been running with bogus stories for like 25 years and as far as I know, he has never apologized for reporting an obviously false story until PizzaGate. What was different about this one?

the MSM ran with PizzaGate. AJ says it was to make the entire story look fake.

The retraction triggers a defense against defamation law in his jurisdiction.

He's being sued.

He's probably facing legal action.

Power. Not his conscience for sure.

That Pizzagate dude on 60 Minutes last night would no more sue for defamation that would Bill Clinton. And the reason why is DISCOVERY. There would be a ton of folk/support rally to the anti-Pedophilia cause...and a ton of money and Political/Civil Law demands for looking into all those dirty corners.

Alex got in over his head. But that ship has sailed.

My guess is because of his chemical imbalance

Pretty coincidental that AJ apologized and the IMDB actor/gunman that went into Comet plead guilty right before the "pizzagate" protest Saturday.

Yep. No way that guy opens those cans of worms. AJ felt pressure from someone else.

Are you saying you don't think any of the people who AJ has claimed are involved in child sex trafficking are suing him because they wouldn't want to be exposed to discovery? If so, then again why did AJ apologize?

Being sued isn't the only threat one could receive to force an apology.

I believe the Comet Pizza guy, at least according to him it's someone impacted by his "reporting" on pizza gate.

He's crawfishing on the story because money talks and bullshite walks.

Why did the extraordinarily emotive NYC Police Department come out strong re the Weiner case evidence exploding/expanding...and then/now...all quiet?

Bill Clinton alone is in deep. Don't think for one minute that the Clintons aren't ruthless; and that they play hardball and know how to CYA. Book it...there is a lot of dirty laundry floating around up there. Alex Jones loves the fame and fortune...but he likely loves his life more.

Time will tell...or the Powers that be will bury it and stay at the helm. Mother Nature 101. Survival and prosperity of the powerful...at the expense of the weak.

Isn't Alex Jones supposed to release pizzagate info today?

Because unlike his normal bullshite about the NSA tracking his semen or whatever this came really close to causing a real world tragedy and would have possibly cost him millions in a lawsuit.

Basically it is most likely because a little ole pizza parlor owner that somehow is voted as one of the 50 most powerful people in D.C. hmmmmm.... has pushed back against AJ like he has done against other that have put out videos on comet pizza and AJ blinked.

It is called picking your fights in some circles or knuckling under. Take your pick.

1950, I don't think we've heard the last out of the NYPD RE: what was on Weiner's hard-drive. They took a backseat to the FBI on the matter, but Comey doesn't want to touch it.

I guarantee you that the NYPD isn't done with this.
