Should Alex Jones be held criminally liable?

[Deleted]

Be nice if you could throw people in jail for being frauds, but apparently it merely qualifies you for political office.

She should be in jail, I agree.

Heres a controversial opinion for this forum.
Alex Jones only lies and tells miss-truths as much as CNN does, actually less as hes only one man and can only do so much.

Yeah, your controversial "opinion" doesn't have any basis in reality. CNN may be wrong once in a great while. While Alex Jones is wrong 95% of the time.

You haven't debunked a single thing. NOT A SINGLE THING. And the fact that you understand how Hillary cheated, means you're far more delusional than I thought. I'm no where near right, slightly left of center. But you , are a complete fool.

Really? Do I understand how Hillary cheated? Because you haven't said how she cheated. If cheating is getting more votes, then every winner cheated.

And Yeah, I have debunked EVERYTHING you have said. Especially your Seth Rich narrative, because even Wikileaks won't say that Seth Rich was their source, everyone else does though. So they can be Russian stooges.

Sure...this would mean that we could shut down CNN and MSNBC as well!

While neither should be charged, can't recall when CNN claimed our government is operated by a sasquatch species.

Could CNN HuffingtonPost and Buzzfeed also be held criminally liable whenever they spread false information? sure if it cuts both ways go for it. People take Alex jones for entertainment purposes.

No no no... it's shape-shifting reptilian overlords from the Draco star system. They're also inbred vampires that are psychopathic murderers or whatever...

Sasquatch is something else.

Trump has a 99% chance of being the best president that has ever stepped on to the majestic Earth.

The above is spot-on. Am I doing it right, or does that chance seems a tad off?

...That is highly subjective. Mostly the high part.

[Maruka]

If we tossed everyone in jail who peddles fake news, there would be no news agencies left.

OK as much as I find them biased, there is a difference between reporting biased news and straight up false news. Hopefully people can also differentiate between an opinion piece and a news cast. The main issue with your listed news sources along with many others is simply bias.

[Lorgar Aurelian]

Yeah, by creating it.

Doesn't matter, he tried to apologize to stop legal action.

No, he isn't.

it actually does matter one is handled in civil court as slander the other is a legit crime.

Every media outlet distorts things one way or another. So no, this amounts to just purging political voices you don't like.

There's a pretty thick goddamned line between spin and "secret demon lizard people pedophile ring run out of a pizza store's basement." One gets the channel changed, the other convinces crazies to start shooting up a pizza parlor.

Fuck Alex Jones and all of his ilk. Bring back the Fairness Doctrine while we're at it.

[urasim]

They are against Trump, so that means they are communist and dishonest. Didn't you know that?

I'm against Trump, TYT, and people like you. TYT is pro communism. Except Cenk who is pro capitalism.

[Theoris]

I think at worst he would face a fine. He is a known con man, after all.

Yes, one kills how many thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands? in Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Yemen, Libya, and a shit ton of other people....

The other sells vitamins and inspires A person to go to a pizza joint with a gun.

Why should he be criminally liable? Criminally Liable should be the mainstream media (or Fake Stream Media) such as CNN, NYT, TYT, etc. If they really wanted to be Journalists (true), they should've covered Trump Side just as much with Clinton's side, and not attacking Trump, like the maniacs they are. They are Fake Journalists. Waste of Taxpayer's money.

Just because you don't like the truth, does not mean they should be liable.

Is he not? Does he have some sort of immunity? Where did you find out?

Sorry, but that isn't anywhere near fucking reality.

[PACOX]

If you think CNN, NBC, MSNBC, and NYTimes should be held liable then Fox News and Infowars should be right if there with them, if not ahead of them.

He basically says he is a salesman for the products he pushes/advertises and the "news" portion of his airtime is for entertainment, to push the products.

What universe does Alex Jones speak the truth for?

Probably the most honest post i've seen on these forums lol.

[Cosmic Janitor]

I think Alex Jones is one of these cases where you think reinstating ye old village fool treatment is in order, you know put him in the pig pen and let him play in filth while everyone in the village pointing and laughing at him. The sad part is, that for this to work you'd need a pig pen that can hold 20-40% of the remaining village population as well these days .

I certainly think that blatantly spewing missinformaton without proper correction should be criminal in itself, but I'm also for holding politicians accountable for their promises and flat out make bad and often selfishly motivated actions. Both things we will probably not see any time soon .

You need a safe space from the evil media that is reporting actual facts? Oh please if you need a safe space please go to breitbart and attack gold star families together with you're lord and savior.
