InfoWars is involved in the suit too.

Looks like Alex Jones has learned nothing. That, or he has no control over his hosts. Either way, I guess he's about to lose even more money.

You mean to tell me the guy who knows all the ways you can learn doesn't, in fact, know how to learn?

You'd think after a billion dollar judgment even a stupid person would tell his people, "don't say anything that could get us sued anymore."

But I guess not.

Has he actually lost anything but time and attorney fees from those judgements? He still gets to live extremely well for someone who supposedly owes that much damn money to people

Yeah how has infowars not been liquidated to cover part of the judgement?

Scumbag right-wing media outlets refuse to have any decency when they make a mistake because outright lying is so standard for them that they genuinely think an honest mistake is not a problem. Gotta push the ole' party line and deny the white supremacist aspect of the killings at any and all cost.

Wait, is Fox News and Newsmax trying to portray Neo-Nazis as innocent victims?

Pretty much this:

Police: "The killer was a Neo-Nazi."

Mainstream Media: "The killer was a Neo-Nazi."

RW Media: "Don't blame us! Blame this random Latino guy instead."

Get that bag, son!!

And if you can bankrupt Crowder and Pool that would be super cool.

Crowder might destroy himself with the abuse of his wife and employees.

Those people won't ever go bankrupt, they are funded by the ultra rich to spread hate. Those platforms don't actually make a profit.

They’ll probably get out of it by saying they are pieces of shit and they can’t harm anyone's reputation bc no one respects the opinions of any of their viewers.

If getting sued would be the norm for falsely accusing someone of being a nazi then there would be trouble ahead for a ton of people especially on this platform.

They didn't falsely accuse him of being a Nazi, they falsely accused him of committing a mass killing to provide cover for a Nazi.

The killer absolutely was a Nazi.
