Hobnob posted:It was hilarious in the depositions where, despite the whole point of them being to determine how much damages he owed, Alex could not stop boasting and exaggerating how many millions of people his show reached. I know right. I like to imagine his lawyer was massively mugging at him and miming 'small' with his fingers and God help his narcissist brain he just couldn't stop himself boasting outrageously. What was it, a billion people regularly tune into Infowars or something of that order he was claiming.

Grand Fromage posted:10% of the world's population was his claim IIRC. Also all world leaders. When Stevie P told an unbelievably credulous Alex about how President Xi was a listener and how China "Didn't want any trouble with infowars" I was so incredulous I had to explain to my family (I was listening to headphones while doing something) why I had just shouted out loud "Oh gently caress Off Alex! You cannot possible be buying this". It was outrageous.

Welp. If i'm Daria at this point. I'm using the lunch break to order an Uber to the airport and boarding the first flight to Tierra Del Fuego to live on the beach and what I can catch from the Ocean. Anything rather than come back to testify some more.

There's at least one episode of KF, number eludes me, where he references having massive sleep apnea issues. Which is one of the few times I've heard Alex make a claim which seems extremely plausible.

As I think someone else mentioned yesterday, most of us are at least partly acclimatised to Infowar's BS from general internet poisoning, even if you're one of those benighted souls who don't listen to Knowledge Fight. In contrast any normal person meeting infowars for the first time is going to react like an arachnophobe to a Black Widow crawling towards them.

An expert, intelligent, verbally dextrous, and a Woman. Gonna be real fun to see the defence cross-examine her. Of course there's a non-zero chance they'll be so intimidated by a capable woman they'll just look at their shoes and mumble "No questions".

BigglesSWE posted:Alex will absolutely claim he kept leaving the court due to a fear of his life, absolutely. The 'Bravest, toughtest, manliest, patriot anywhere'. *Literally takes team of bodyguards with him even into court* I was thinking about this last night as well. When he tells stories about interactions with the public where people don't want to speak to him or look daggers at him but are too scared to confront him. Always remember the escort of thugs he's surrounds himself with.

It's a cliche, but the apposite quote here is always Vonneguts "We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful what we pretend to be". By all accounts, Anne Coulter totally started as a grift. But you can't say that stuff all week, then reset your brain from your stored backup at the weekend. You start saying that poo poo, you start thinking that poo poo, you start believing that poo poo. And that's before you factor in the massive positive reinforcement from all the praise and money and fame these people have gotten from their positions. AJ is 100% a true believer and has been for years, regardless of how he started.

They can't stop representing him at this late stage, the judge won't let them. What leverage do they have on the massive Narcissist with the obvious Oppositional Defiance Disorder.

If they'd co-operated with discovery, apologised convincingly and made a focused and coherent free speech argument there's excellent odds they'd have gotten away with a succesful defence. Of course the point is a rational Infowars/Alex Jones, who were capable of such behaviour, would never have done the things that required such a defence.

Bizarro Kanyon posted:Didn’t their documents for discovery also include child pornography? Danger posted:Didn’t they accidentally turn over CSAM as well? It did, but I believe it was from an email that was sent to Infowars and the evidence was that email hadn't even been opened by them. Infowars had no idea it was there until it was found by the Plaintiffs examining what deposition was turned over. So loathe as I am to defend them, not actually Infowars fault.
