He'll never cry like a Sandy Hook parent. Never know loss like a Sandy Hook parent. There's literally nothing that could make me feel sympathy for him.

Justice from the law usually, but not always, has one person thinking that their sentance was a miscarriage of justice.
So good. Cry Alex. Cry a fucking lot.
He’ll never cry like a Sandy Hook parent.
His cry looks like a Rittenhouse cry to me.
Believing he was really crying ain't much better than believing any other shit he spews. It was fake tears to grift his fans.
People are choosing to believe it, because it's what they want to believe.
Which is true for the people who believe any of his lies...
Be better than Alex Jones's fans.
Quick edit:
And it shouldn't need a reminder, but it's been years since WB bought CNN and they've openly been saying they want it to be more like faux news
These articles are the manifestation of that
Who cares if it's real? This'll get clicks and give the poors something stupid to be mad about
Please, for the love of God, everyone needs to stop consuming "news" from CNN. It's a frog boil to make Dems more like Republicans, and it's fucking working
Oh I saw CNN air this. They had absolutely no pity for the tears and the anchors basically said "sucks to suck, doesn't exactly inspire sympathy"
Is there something specific in this article that triggered your CNN comments? I didn’t actually read it but just curious.
Is there something specific in this article that triggered your CNN comments?
Weird way to phrase that...
But just the type of "news" this is. Repeating something everyone knows is bullshit, but it's what people want to hear so they'll mindless spread it on social media
If you're not aware, CNN is more on the "entertainment" side of "entertainment news" these days.
I don't know how, but a lot of people seem to have already forgotten.
That article is from two years ago when the sale happened, and CNN fired everyone that objected to the changes.
I was genially curious with my question. Not trying to throw shade. I do not read much CNN articles these days.
I guess this story being news worthy is debatable, but seems like it shouldn’t be posted in the political community.

I think Alex Jones is a crisis actor. His company and assets were never real anyway.
Amazing how quickly these rabid bullies fold when they actually face consequences.
Crybully. It's likely fake. Gotta rev up the persecution complex to get attention for the renamed podcast that opens immediately after.
If he's even really crying and not just putting on a show, which he almost certainly is. He's a sociopath, bitter and resentful, and remorse is s foreign concept to him. Hopefully nobody gives him a job once he's been bled dry. I want to see him living in a cardboard box under a bridge, then see somebody come along, kick him in the sack, and steal his box.

I've got nothing to add other than, Alex Jones is a big piece of shit
Alex Jones is a big piece of shit
I, for one, value your contribution to the discourse 🙏
I think he's probably just acting
Crisis acting, if you will.
If this blubbering sack of shit cried every waking moment for the rest of his wothless life he wouldn't shed as many tears as the parents, families, and friends of the children who were murdered at Sandy Hook did.
He's 100% a crisis actor.
He is such an asshole, feeling sorry for himself for having to pay because he ruined other peoples lives.
He might have fake-cried on air, but I'm hoping he real-cried at home and at the lawyers once he realized the Sandy Hook families weren't going to go for his 'deal' that let him off the hook for a measly few million and the judge wasn't going to let him get rid of the debt in bankruptcy. I hope he ends up on the streets.
I agree, but whether it was fake or not, I'm certain that he feels sorry for himself, and finds it unfair that is actions should have consequences. His behavior is so psychopathic, that I would be very surprised if he isn't one.
Yay!
Damn, all he had to do is not being a fucking cunt and not claiming a terrible tragedy didn't happen!
It's all part of his act
Given the horror stories I've heard of Sandy Hook survivors getting abused by t heir parents because "YOU BETRAYED THIS FAMILY TO PARROT THOSE LIES THE LIBERAL MEDIA PAYS YOU TO TELL!11"
Yeah...
I would break out my violin, but my electron microscope is out for repairs.
Fuck around and find out.
He could have apologized and corrected himself a month after it happened. Instead he quadrupled down. Now he's losing everything.
Wonder what will happen to the "Knowledge Fight" podcast?
They've got so much historic content to focus on and Alex Jones is definitely not going down this easy. I bet anything that if he actually stops being able to do info wars (big doubt, he'll probably just make a new company and broadcast from his basement if he isn't somehow stopped), he'll end up with a RT show like Carlson

He's been fake crying a lot. Again, last weekend he was fake crying about "being shutdown" and about how "amazing the crew is" and how he loves the crew so much that he views the crew as himself. "I literally think of you all as me" was what he was repeating. His fake tears are the most stereotypical fake tears that you can imagine. Think of what you think of as the worst possible fake tears, and that's what he was doing.
People in the news give Alex way too much credit, he's as terrible as he's always been and he ALWAYS has ulterior motives. The more people pretend that he's genuine in any way, the bigger the platform he has to spew his trash.
"I literally think of you all as me"? Gads, of all the egotistical absurdities I have heard in my life. He probably thought he was saying something nice.
Good. Cry harder you piece of shit. I want real tears you piece of shit
The american right wing are middle schoolers. Remember when you were 16 and knew better than everyone? This is the stage they stopped developing at.
Bully or victim. These are the only 2 modes they can inhabit and they rapidly cycle between the two. Youll see this in spades with donald. Every time you see him speak ask yourself is he being a bully or victim right now. Had they they not perturbed their own natural process of evolution they would have progressed into adulthood and understood there is a middle ground between bully and victim/dog eat dog/winners and losers. Our only chance is to drag these children kicking and screaming into the future. I know you think you know better but sorry, you have to eat your fucking broccoli and cant stay up til 3am on a school night.
Cry harder.
He will pay a fraction of what is owed and then claim that it's paid in full. He's a giant piece of shit who brought this on himself.
Good for the families.
