A livetweet thread from the host of Knowledge Fight (a podcast about the Alex Jones show) who is at the trial, for those who want to catch up with what has happened so far.

Edit:

This attempt already went down in flames, the courts saw through it

Yeah I just saw the story, good I hope he winds up homeless

The NRA tried the same thing and it was equally pathetic

Last time I saw a video of Alex Jones it was him screaming at some teenage kid working at a city park who could not have given less of a gently caress lol. Pretty sure it was over a mask mandate.

p sure the last time I saw him on video was a clip where some random dude saw him in public and shouted "Hey gently caress you!!" at him and alex dropped everything he was doing to have his camera crew and entourage start following and trying to intimidate this dude like a big thick skinned man

Imagine seeing Alex Jones in public and NOT yelling gently caress you at him

Should they be showing the jurors like that? Like I feel like that's a problem

Yeah usually the camera is set up so you never see any of the jury, that's odd

At least they were smart enough to disable YouTube comments lol

$150,000,000 holy poo poo. That feels like a big swing but I hope they get it.

lol Jones' lawyer seeking a mistrial for reasons I didn't hear because they were going to break. Good effort.

Lmao they might as well ask for a bad court thingy. They already pissed off the judge by objecting within the first ten seconds of the opening statement.

Also mute those mics guys

27 hours seems like a lot of coverage. That's like 3 full length seasons of a syndicated half hour TV show, the combined runtime of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's phase 3 movies, two and a half runthroughs of Ken Burns's Civil War, or nearly a quarter of a Peter Jackson movie.

It's like 1000x more than fox news has committed to the J6 hearings

It's wild to me that they were able to find people in Texas who could be unbiased jurors WRT Info Wars. I guess not everyone is as terminally online as us, though.

red19fire posted:

Jones’ defense is basically ‘I’m just a journalist chasing the truth, I don’t have time to check everything, first amendment.’ The plaintiffs attorney is establishing that Jones ignored clear evidence that he was pushing lies, that infowars has a culture of cherry-picking facts to support a conclusion, using random emails to a tip email as ‘confirmed sources’, etc. He’s showing that it’s more than just a journalist making a one-time oopsie, it was a prolonged and malicious campaign.

He should've used the Fox News defense: "No person with an IQ above 50 would actually believe any of this"

Yep, the strategy from Infowars has been the same the entire time, pretend you know nothing and ignore what the court orders as much as possible

Yeah even if a judgment is awarded, someone still has to collect that money
