Knowledge Fight is nigh-exclusively Alex Jones stuff lol

You might be thinking of another podcast in the constellation of 'vaguely comedic coverage of right wing figure' media

Behind the Bastards maybe, but I listened to a few AJ episodes of Knowledge Fight a while ago, I just assumed they do other topics too. I guess he's just generating so much content opportunity lmao.

They occasionally take a break and cover other even more loony conspiracy stuff, but it is indeed probably 95% by episode and 99% by time spent coverage of Alex jones

The above defense described by SMG then promptly falls apart because the plantiffs have already established Alex jones continued his denial of events and attacks on the parents for *years*, nearly a decade in fact, so there's no way he was still confused in, say, 2018

That's where the two parts go together: they're claiming Jones was confused and traumatized by the shooting, and that he then stayed stupid for a decade due to Infowars' SOP of repeating stuff constantly while never researching anything. So, you see, it wasn't malicious!

That was Mark's argument during Daria's deposition, saying, "How are you journalists if you claim to just follow someone else's work without concluding that your source is a lunatic?"

This lady keeps giving loaded answers. Like "Alex was just talking about the lies from the government."

Also where did AJ go? I didn't know you could show up for a bit then just wander off in the middle of your trial.

Then they're off it immediately. What the gently caress was that line of questioning? I feel like you could object to the relevance to half this questioning but Mark knows to pick his moments.

Yeah. Alex is already guilty so there's no question there, and Mark showed a video of him in 2021 showing zero remorse which is a strong argument toward dropping a giant penalty. The defense's only chance here is to try to pill the jury and/or confuse them so much they can't come to a decision.

In my expert legal opinion, as a non-lawyer

The former, she said she was born in St. Petersburg. And she lived there long enough she has a bit of an accent at times so I'd guess moved somewhere elementary school age.
