Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
Jones' lawyers had warned in the filing last week that if the case was not put on hold, “InfoWars will have been acquired by its ideological nemesis and destroyed."
Yeah? And? That would be bad for YOU I guess, but that's not a legal argument. The trial is over and the judgement has already been made.
fuck Alex Jones.
I wish nothing but the worst for him
careful, this is a borderline thought crime
He's not dead yet, so i guess it's ok? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I wish him a lifetime of always being two good wipes away from clean.
Basically everything from Tear Your Dress - Bag of Toys
But also, people like Jones tend to not wipe because they think it's gay.
Last week he urged the court to urgently intervene, saying that if the court did not take action, his website, Infowars, was at risk of being turned over to the satirical news site The Onion.
The proposed acquisition would be used to help fund payments to family members of the Sandy Hook victims.
Jones' lawyers had warned in the filing last week that if the case was not put on hold, “InfoWars will have been acquired by its ideological nemesis and destroyed."
Ideological nemesis? Really? Infowars has always been a joke. Under The Onion at least it'll also be funny.
I'd like to see them turn it into just absolutely stupid conspiracy theories. Like: otters can understand Farsi, and Billie Eilish is actually list a bunch of eyelids, shit like that.
They're both satire sites but only one is presented as such
Alex Jones and his lawyers were repeatedly warned that if they did not participate they would receive a default judgement.
From a contemporary article:
Connecticut Superior Court Judge Barbara Bellis cited the defendants' "willful noncompliance" with the discovery process as the reasoning behind the ruling. Bellis noted that defendants failed to turned over financial and analytics data that were requested multiple times by the Sandy Hook family plaintiffs.
It was so much fun fucking around, Alex, but the time has come to find out.
I encourage everyone to check out the Knowledge Fight podcast, specifically the "Formulaic Objections" episodes series.
It's "annotated" audio footage from the depositions of Alex and his coworkers/conspirators.
It is the best evidence that he's just making it all up, and trying to make as much money as possible while dodging any kind of accountability.
Its also "annotated" by two real funny fellas. Worth a listen for sure.
Also some phenomenal work by the lawyers just constantly giving him just enough rope to hang himself.
his case didn't deserve supreme court time
Are we done fucking around? Can we finally move on to 'find out'?
Why aren’t they using a recent picture of him with his new Hitler mustache?
He just had it a couple of hours in a desperate attempt for attention. Also he is bored.
But Trump's $500m judgment for committing multiple acts of fraud was "excessive". 😮💨
Sucks to suck, AJ
Finally, some uplifting news.
Facing the consequences of my actions is illegal!
Right?
Well he's a WARRIOR OF GOD fighting THE ARMIES OF SATAN. This isn't supposed to happen to him.
While I'm glad this shitstain loser troll fuck is getting at least a fraction of what's been coming to him, I have to acknowledge that the shitstain loser troll fuck that's in the Oval Office is flourishing, along with all the other shitstain loser troll fucks in his administration and party.
We're not even close to real justice in this shithole.
Hey. At least Knowledge Fight's content is awesome right now. If you want a digestible way to witness the slow sad destruction of a pathetic white supremacist and his cadre of asshats, tune in.
Yeah I'm looking forward to their episode covering AJs reaction to this lol
This one is gonna be gold
Yep. He's going to blow a fuckin' gasket!
Their recent Tucker Carlson episode is one of the most bleak things I've ever heard.
You love to see it.
Nice.
lol
