An example of the kind of outrageous lie that Jones can perpetuate, millions of idiots will find credible, and the legal system can do nothing about.

Marjorie Taylor Greene says it's unfair to ruin Alex Jones for defaming Sandy Hook parents, claims Infowars is right 'most of the time'

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene defended Alex Jones after he was ordered to pay $45 million to the parents of children killed in the Sandy Hook mass shooting he defamed.

 

Greene made the remarks in an interview with fellow Donald Trump ally and promoter of far-right disinformation Mike Lindell on the fringes of the CPAC conference over the weekend.

 

Greene cast the families suing him as seeking to "ruin" him, and argued that Infowars should not be judged solely on its claim — which Jones retracted at the trial — that the Sandy Hook massacre was a hoax.

How can a prediction about what could happen in the future be a "lie" ?

What prediction about the future?  His lies include saying that 9/11 was an inside job, that Sandy Hook was fake,  the government has weather weapons, chemicals in the water are turning frogs gay, Robert Mueller is a demon and a pedophile, and Hillary Clinton is running a child sex ring out of a pizza parlor.  None of these are future events but they are all lies.

In the post that I replied to . 

If you follow the discussion, we were talking about a specific prediction about a future event

The Alex Jones prediction:

 

"I'm worried that the Biden controllers, the third administration of Obama -- I'm worried that Obama and his people may provocateur some type of big terror attack. They might launch a cyber attack and blame it on the Russians. They might start a major war."

 

Absurd beyond belief.  However if a prediction can't be a lie, then I can predict that Alex Jones, Donald Trump and Marjorie Taylor Green will turn out to be the real children eating space alien lizard people.  That can't be a lie, can it?

Has Marjorie Taylor Greene ever publicly said anything that wasn't whack-a-doodle crazy?  For that matter, has Alex Jones?

No its not a lie .

A prediction about the future isn't a lie .

I predict that Chomper will sign in and make a post about trolls and then state that he's leaving . 

   Would that be a lie ?

It really is a baseless accusation intended to smear Obama and "his people" whoever they may be. Not just Dems but independents who voted for him as well? It's nothing other than red meat for the base. After all, Jones needs the money now.

Yes, its entertainment , shock jocks are quite popular in the USA .

You shouldn't take him seriously as a news source , his job is to be extreme and outrageous

What you didn't believe her when she said this?

 

"The 2018 California wildfires were ignited by a space laser controlled by a corporate cabal, including the Rothschild banking firm"

 

Her conspiracy theories and downright lies certainly do put her in your "whack-a-doodle crazy" category

Well, he got a bit too extreme and a bit too outrageous and damaged people with his lies.  Now the piper needs to be paid.  I don't have an ounce of sympathy for him.

That was the Carlson defense. Nobody should take him seriously. So, why would so many people here listen to him and support him? He's either a liar and should be history long ago or people love those lies. In any case, he caused death threats against the parents of the murdered children. Despicable scum who could slide under a snake's belly.

I think if he should change the name of his show from "Infowars" to "Alex screams BS", just to make his shock jock status clear.

Bad news for Jones, looks like the judge knows he is playing games.

If made the ‘prediction’ without any factual basis then it was a lie.

He's been juggling numbers to such a degree I would not be surprised if when this is over he gets criminal fraud charges.
