that the case should be dismissed because he was speaking on a matter of public concern, and his speech should therefore be protected under the First Amendment. Second, he argued that his statements against the Sandy Hook families were mere opinions and therefore couldn’t be defamatory. Heboth of these arguments largely on procedural grounds because he refused to produce documents to the plaintiff’s attorneys despite a very clear court order.
before it sent the case back to the trial court whose jury determined the payout. In response to Heslin’s claim of defamation, which rested on Jones’ statements being provably false, Jones argued that his statements were not defamatory because he was just stating his opinion and not a false statement of fact.
THINK I mean considering he realised was wrong/got the proper facts, corrected himself and apologized many times for his mistake before this case even started, I have no idea what this article is supposed to be about
THINK You see this as a problem with fact-checking?
THINK Next do CNN
THINK Fact checking? Good God, can't you see a lie for what it is?
THINK Who does he pay the $45 million to?
THINK Alex Jones lies for a living. That's a fact.
THINK Good. Sue him into oblivion. Lying sack of 💩.
THINK Him again? 🙄
THINK And it took years ?
THINK Good
THINK Good, now do Trump and Fox News; king of lies and faux news.
THINK That sure is a lot of money for an opinion. Get your 'opinion' money ready. The precedent has been set. How much will your opinion cost U?
THINK This was not fact checking this was unadulterated lies about peoples murdered children. Get you shit together with what you post please. There is no both sides opinions to gunned down children that you then lie about for profit and fun on Infowars.
THINK It's sad that our citizens and our courts have forgotten about the first amendment. Just because you disagree or dislike Alex doesn't mean he should be silenced and sued.
THINK FACT-CHECKING?!?!? He didn’t give a flying F what the FACTS were. You insult our intelligence with this apologetic GARBAGE.
THINK Delete this crap. Start over. This was NOT about fact checking.
THINK ALEX JONES IS A FRAUD
THINK Be careful what you wish for… your networks would make a nice prize… the precedent has been set.
THINK .joannesweeny Didn’t spend years peddling the debunked Russia conspiracy? Didn’t they declare Hunter’s laptop from hell as nothing more as Russian disinformation? I urge you to trade in your poodle perms for a much needed dose of self awareness
THINK What does fact-checking have to do with AJ? He lies intentionally, not accidentally. Get your facts straight - or are you hoping to drum up support for AJ and his lies? You are supposed to be a newspaper. Act like it
THINK This wasn't a lack of fact checking, JFC.
THINK That's rich coming from the Mainstream Mockingbird Media, arm of the DNC 🤣
THINK Does it make a 'whooshing' noise when the point shoots by you like that? The importance of fact-checking? He KNOWS he's lying. He always knows, and he does it anyway.
THINK His problem was not not fact checking though. Dude knew the truth. Stop that.
THINK What about you? Y’all run with BS all the time.
THINK He didn't forget to fact check...it wasn't a mistake...he made up a conspiracy and lied about parents who just had their kids heads blown off
THINK Fact checking? His show is a one man WWE match that only the weak-minded would take seriously. Unfortunately we have no shortage of weak-minded and he should know better.
THINK OJ didn't have to pay that much and killed 2 people
THINK Hopefully every news channel will be held to same standard
THINK Umm, NBC and MSM are the biggest culprit of this!
THINK You should take this as a lesson also.
THINK This has nothing to do with “fact checking”. This piece of garbage pushed his propaganda on these families to the point they were getting death threats. Here’s hoping every day forward for Jones is substantially worse than the previous.
BBaptist_30_ THINK Rest assured there will be zero lessons learned.
THINK The Media, Big Tech, Corrupt Politicians, LIED to the American people claiming Hunter Biden's Laptop was 'Russian disinformation' to protect Joe Biden during the 2020 Election. Fact check that!
THINK tRump is Next for his Lies!!!
THINK This from the same network who pushed Russian collusion for years!
THINK fact checking?
THINK LOL this wasn't a fact-checking failure. He intentionally made up a lie to cash in by suckering dumb people who love guns more than children.
THINK Freedom of speech vs Establishmentarians
THINK CNN 🥸
THINK Buahahahaha , hey NBC how about the covington kids
THINK What a Roach! AlexJones
THINK But will the rest of us?
THINK “Fact-checking” WTF
THINK Fact checking? How about telling the truth? How about not even saying anything at all after this happened except I’m sorry for those poor kids and families.
THINK Where’s maxwells list
THINK Still never proved that it actually happened
THINK Fact checking? That's funny... progressive speak for no 1st amendment. He was convicted to knowing telling a lie, not-not fact checking. BTW, Hunter's Laptop Epstein's client list? Got anything for us yet?
THINK He doesn't care about the facts, he just likes sensationalism to drive his audience and ratings and ultimate $$
THINK Can we sue the mainstream media for your lies and bias?
THINK You won't be so chipper when you are sued out of existence for your falsehoods.
THINK NBC has zero room to say anything about fact checking. That is not even a routine for them if they ever hear the name “Trump” in a sentence or the word “conservative”. Even the Democratic Party needs something or leverage? NBC will just say it or print it & apologize later.
THINK 'Fact checking'? Did someone fact check this?
THINK He's an overstuffed garment bag..
THINK Yay
THINK It’s not over yet
THINK What do you mean I have to tell the truth?
THINK It was defamatory and malicious. Not a lack of fact-checking.
THINK This aberration of a person, Jones, needs to account for his guilty verdict then in some form or fashion be referred to psychiatric evaluation and treatment to circumvent his ability to cause harm to people in any circumstance(s).
THINK These people never learn and fact-check he will never do because he's a horrible human and a bigot and has no compassion whatsoever!!!!😠😠😠
THINK Just like trump, Alex Jones preys upon the naive and the impressionable. People who have no personality of their own who want to feel important because they 'think like an outsider'. You have to master the basics before you start getting crazy. People like him just skip a step
THINK He made a hell of a lot more than 45 million not fact checking. Why would he start now?
THINK He is now saying that his trial and the verdict is a hoax. Make the next trials hurt a bit more!
THINK . Fascists don't believe in facts. .
THINK I thought I was the only 1 troubled by the wording of this article. This was not yrs of failing to fact-check but yrs of wilful, malicious, hate-inducing, pain-inflicting verbal diarrhoea of made up crap
THINK Why was NYT not made to pay for the defamation against Sarah Palin? In fact NYT is supposed to be a more serious paper than the fringe Alex Jones who is hardly been taken seriously by mainstream life.? Is there a two tier justice or rather injustice?
THINK “what is likely to be only the first of a series of expensive lessons about the importance of fact-checking” that might be true if he said he saw a UFO, ffs fact checking, in this case? Are you out of your mind!!
THINK Hope they can start face checking our media on all sides.
THINK Buy him a cheap muzzle...
THINK There must be many hurt from the thousands of trump lies, he’s liable too !
THINK Damn. When will cnn learn?
THINK JoAnne Sweeney: I'm a giant dumb dumb and drink my own pee
THINK Wait till they stop your voice
THINK Do you think fact checking really had anything to do w it? Or growing his business and making millions was more important than the truth?
THINK Will Alex Jones end up actually paying any of this $50M himself? Just asking?
THINK His phone and text records are likely to expose Jones' involvement in the January 6th planning.
THINK Rewrite this lead. Fact checking had nothing to do with it
THINK Why are we pretending Alex just forgot to check the facts? He was lying because he thought he could get away with it. And he still might make more money than he loses. 🤨
THINK NBC is Fakenews that lied about WMDs, Russian Collusion, the Jabs and more. Where is your fact checking? This was a sham trial that will get overturned.
THINK He knew. He just wanted to spread lies , who the F knows why. But the repubs are famous and good at it
