re: Why does Alex Jones have to pay for media hoax?

Unless you are making criminal threats, or accusing someone of a crime, there is no basis to infringe on someone's right to speak their opinion.
How corrupt courts interpret the law, and what the law actually is, are two entirely different things, as we see time and again.

Then I suggest you lobby your legislature to eliminate defamation and libel laws in your state.

Default. Judgment. Jones didn’t even present a defense on the merits. This trial is only about damages.

If Sandy Hook was a hoax, which Jones suggested, ....would not that be crime?

And if you were a left wing pundit the case would be dismissed.

Because some fake children that never existed were killed and their actor parents get to cash in on their fake deaths.

I’m waiting on you to post the exact defamatory quote.

They took away his journalistic platform. Yet rioters can run amuck claiming to be journalists.

Name them.
You haven't done any research, have you? Supposedly dead people, had people talking on their facebook pages about their death, before they were supposed to be dead. Many of the parents were known local crisis actors. One of the girls who was supposed to be dead was shown to have been photoshopped into a fake family photo. And it was her "dad" who was on video laughing the day of the "shooting" when he thought he was off camera, only to immediately shift to a somber voice when he stepped up to the podium.
The medical examiner was all over the board with his supposed findings when he spoke to the media, and he also was cracking jokes, which was really bizarre. There was no sense of urgency from the first responders on the scene, Ambulances just sat there, blocking each other, as if they had never been in an emergency situation before.
These are just highlights. I am not one to call something a false flag unless I have a really good reason to believe it is. This was absolutely one of them. Even if it wasn't, the reason for doubt is very strong. I don't agree with a lot of what Alex Jones says with a lot of other things, but it wasn't him who got me doubting Sandy Hook. He's being hung out to dry on this one.

Are you trying to defend this piece of s..t?
Posted on 8/4/22 at 5:59 pm to AggieHank86
The current system [which allows for defamation suits] discriminates against poorer people in another way; for their own speech is restricted, since they are less likely to disseminate true but derogatory knowledge about the wealthy for fear of having costly libel suits filed against them.
Other Dangers Loom on the Horizon
It is possible to conceive of future cases in which defamation law could be used to enforce modern notions of political correctness.
For example, accusing another person of mental illness is often considered to be a type of defamation per se. So, what happens when a person states that transgender people suffer from a type of mental illness? Potentially, those who express this opinion could be sued for defamation in court by those who claim they were harmed by being cast as mentally ill.

What you just said would be accusing someone of a crime, because buying crack is a crime.
You're a real genius, aren't you?

That's because there was/is no PROVABLE-IN-COURT Russian collusion hoax. Facts are stubborn things.

Honestly, I can't back Alex Jones. He is complete trash and his type hurts our movements. Let's quit pretending he is somehow some kind of conservative hero

I don't think people hear are defending Alex Jones. Their defense is in regards to the first amendment, whether you think that is valid or not. Why don't you talk about that instead ?

Free speech is free but not lies. You can't outright lie about others in a public forum. He's getting what he deserved. Yeah I get it, the msm lies everyday but we can't be like them.

Remember when he was removed from social media in 2018 and people like you shrugged their shoulders? That set a precedent and now anyone or anything that goes against the narrative can be banned or fake checked.
Now we can have government officials inciting ANTIFA and BLM riots that harm people and nothing is done, yet Alex freakin Jones has to pay 4 million?
You’re part of the reason our country is going to hell. Politically correct bullshite and trying to maintain an image so no one will think a certain way about you.
