It's sort of tragic the onion takeover came on the heels of him being right about SPLC. There's something morally questionable about the largest civil fine in history being against a guy who accused a shooting of being a false flag and then apologized a few weeks later when better information came to light. I'm not saying he shouldn't have been sued, but rather it feels like the wrong amount for how apologetic he was even long before the lawsuit, especially given his show has a strong comedy aspect to it.
- ijk 6mo agoI don't see anywhere he was apologetic enough to fix any of the damages that he caused, and plenty of places where he was documented as doubling down on lies he knew were lies at the time. The man was making money off of lying about dead children. Where's the comedy in that?

- seattle_spring 6mo agoAlex Jones makes dozens of patently false claims per episode. Yet every once in a while, he will accidentally say something that can be associated with reality. People will latch onto those once-in-ten-thousand statements and say, "look! Alex Jones was actually right about x all along," while completely ignoring the veritable sea of misinformation he spouted along the way.
