But what does this week’s verdict, the first of three Sandy Hook-related cases against Jones to be decided, mean for the larger misinformation ecosystem, a social media-fuelled world of election denial, COVID-19 skepticism and other dubious claims that the Infowars conspiracy theorist helped build?
That distinction is why Jones, who attacked the parents of Sandy Hook victims and claimed the 2012 shooting was staged with actors to increase gun control, is being forced to pay up while Holocaust deniers, flat-earthers and vaccine skeptics are free to post their theories without much fear of a multimillion-dollar court judgment.
“I am asking you to take the bullhorn away from Alex Jones and all of the others who believe they can profit off of fear and misinformation,” Wesley Ball said in his closing argument Friday. “The gold rush of fear and misinformation must end, and it must end today." Jones’ lawyer Andino Reynal told the jury during closing arguments that a large judgment would have a chilling effect on people seeking to hold governments accountable.
“You have to look at this particular case and ask yourself, what exactly are you chilling?” Solomon said.
This is a psy op people. Once u realize there all working together to shut down freedom of speech…simple as that
It means we can sue Fake Media like CTV & CBC !
A small lesson !! he won't pay a nickel !! that is what the great system alloys !! Congratulations to the parents that didn't let go ! Koodo Koodo.
It means, places like ctv can now be sued for misinformation! The gonna hit cbc hard lol
Unless it's coming from our news outlets, The Government, The World Economic Forum, The UN, and The W.H.O. it must not be true. Follow the science not the money. 🇺🇦 🦗 😷 💉
No, the question is, will the plaintiffs ever collect their court judgement? It seems pretty unlikely to me. When governments are also spreading misinformation, it seems that it's here to stay. There is no defense to governments spreading misinformation.
I read 4 million.
Misinformation isn't the problem. Talk about freedom of speech!!!
the courts will have a busy time of it with all the BS spewed on media ?
Look yourselves in the mirror CTV.
The only misinformation is from you the MSM. Period.
she sucked all the information out
CTV is next.
for some reason you can't sue mainstream media very very hard. and they lie about way more than Jones does
TorCentre Opportunity for more misinformation?
Are you and the other lying propagandists getting worried?
It means CTV news will have to cite its 'experts'
CTV should lawyer up.
It means we can sue CTV to get some of our 600M back! Maybe all of it.
LOOK WHOS TALKING CTV OMG !! YOU KNOW THE ONE ABOUT GLASS HOUSES & STONES ?
It means unfortunately non of those parents will see a dime from him. He will get his rich political friends to help him drag this out for years.
It is disinformation. Misinformation is when you don't know the information you are spreading is untrue. Disinformation is when you purposely spread lies to achieve a political agenda.
When fake news media and govt is called out for spreading misinformation it's called a 'retraction', anyone else it's called misinformation, falsehoods and conspiracy theories! BTW much of what Jones predicted has come to pass!
This is just a farcical precursor to impose penalties upon those that share information the psychopathic tyrants do not want you to hear!
It means when his lawyers take this back to Court and prove it to be fact what he’s said and that the govt and the news like yourself has been saying, companies like CTV will be sued for 49.3 Million for the spreading of misinformation as you call it,
Being conservative is going to get more expensive.
Outlets like ctv dwarf Alex jones when it comes to “misinformation”
Why are you the last on every story? Do better
Means the comments are like a circus fill of 🤡
He will still have money and continue to lie. Other families need to go after him legally. We need to bankrupt him.
Ah yes. CTV accusing others of misinformation. Most delusional network in the country. Far left liberal clowns.
Keep reposting and keep getting ratioed eh CTV?
Why are you re posting this every 4 hours? your agenda is showing.
Heehaw, will it be 493 Milln or 4.93 Billn that Mr Trump will be slip& sliding into as only one more step step left for his highness now.
It means you guys will be able to spread it better
How many times you post this? 😂😂
Absolutely nothing... CTV and CNN are still operating!
It means he'll pay as much to his victims as OJ did to the Goldman's. Rich, privileged,🍆🍆
It's ok for those like politicians to do it but not the little guy.
It's wonderful. Mainstream media will have nobody to call them out on their lies.
defundctv
When talks about misinformation, as if they’re not one of the biggest spreaders in our nation, I wish it was satire, but no it is sadly not.
The whole social media if filled with fake news!! And people believe this crap! But this guy did go to far!!
Means the legacy media better watch out there turn is next
I guess you're next. 🤷♀️
How much $ should be on the hook for, for spreading misinformation?
Not much. Infowars is still on the air doing it’s thing. Jones won’t have to actually pay anything like $49m anyway. And while all this was going on, a few hundred AJ imitators popped up. But the nice people can feel safe for awhile.
Alex is more accurate & trustworthy than you clowns. Texas has cap on damages awarded, Alex looks like he'll be on the hook for $13 mil.
it means fake news main stream media like CTV should be very careful.
How many retweets of this same article has CTV tweeted in their demoralization campaign to dehumanize their opponents. Only children brag like this, not adults.
It doesn't mean much as his payout will only like be ~$7-8M which is pocket change for someone like him
What a farce! Defund CTV.
It's bad news for people questioning the narrative. I'm sure your ability to spread misinformation will continue to go unpunished though so your outlet will likely remain unaffected.
Ruling Class Puppet in Theatre for Agenda purposes. Period.
It means CTV would be in a lot of trouble for all the misinformation they put out.
Means infinite copies of the same tweet from CTV. One is never enough!
You are spreading misinformation and brainwashing people for decades
Hopefully it means nothing otherwise the tax payers of Canada are in for a hefty bill to pay for all of JustinTrudeau misinformation over the years
Gonna be $249 million soon once other verdicts come in.....HAHA. Alexi Jonesov of mother Russia will be broke. Loser.
Not a damn thing because you're still here.
Hopefully it means globalnews CBCNews days are numbered. How do the “journalists” that work there look themselves in the fucking eye. Morales and ethics need not apply.
American news network or maybe the tabloid rag on the impulse rack at the grocery store. 🤦♂️
CTV are the kings of misinformation, stop gloating.
The MSM is screwed? 🤷♂️
Oh, so lying is now 'misinformation'? How Orwellian of you. A lie is a lie, no matter how anyone tries to whitewash it.., a lie is still a lie. Call it as such. Stop trying to dumb it down. At least be honest in journalism. Tell the truth.
Does NOT mean a dam thing to me, I already know you do more misinformation than AlexJonesWasRight does in a 1 hour romper room court!!!
Mr Jones you have an air of total embarrassment and humiliation sitting in that courtroom. Maybe you should get a pillow to cry on pun intended.
Misinformation keeps spreading, hide/punish the truth!
It means we need to crowd fund more to beat the enemy like CTV CBC and Glo Bull
Being conservative is going to get expensive.
Means CTV is up 💩 creek without a paddle
It means PoiLIEvre's fortunes will soon be at risk.
It means CTV should be next, but our two tier justice system won't touch the privileged.
It's absolutely gross that he's in the position he's in and you people are in the position to post this tweet. The world is directly upside down.
Republicans will be crying the blues over not being able to lie to truths 😼
Hell CTV and other MSM in Canada keeps posting misleading truths about Ukraine. Watch Roger from Pink Floyd serve it to CNN's propaganda.
It would be nice if the law was applied equally. If it was, CTV would be held accountable for their damaging misinformation.
Wouldn’t you like to know
Punitive damages are capped at 75k in Texas. Plus he is appealing. This is a farce.
Your institution is a grandmaster misinformer - so corrupt. Sit down.
Trudeau won’t be able to blatantly lie to Canadians. Naw that’s not going to change.
If Alex Jones can make money, why do you need Goverment hand outs?
Texas has a cap on punitive damages of up to $750,000 per defendent. He won't pay anywhere near that if anything due to litigation. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
You guys are a prime example of the pot calling the kettle black.
It means we can sue fake news like CTV and CBC
CBC globalnews and ctv better take note. With all the misinformation being spread by your news outlets I hope someone does this to you.
When is CTV pony'ng up 10s of millions for its decades of rampant misinformation.
It means CNN is screwed by DJT suing them.
You wrote censorship wrong.
it means you can be sued , as was the case with CNN for the Nick Sandmann and now with Rittenhouse . You are on notice.
It's disinformation. He clearly knows what he spreads is false and yet still chooses to do it.
You’re the experts at it. Tell us..
Let’s wait till he actually pays some before celebrating too much!
Quite rich for CTV to droll over AJ sentence. If CTV was to pay for all the lies and propaganda they had so eagerly rained on us, it would easily bankrupt them..... For the record: I never watch a AJ show.
Implying that CTV is “information”? 😂 Thanks for the laugh.
It means the media should be held accountable next
It means that only state approved media can push lies…
That MSM should be worried about someone coming for them after all the blatant lies and misdirection they reported as facts.
It means all them YouTube “ experts “ better watch out lmao
CTV could have pointed out the Judge in this case is corrupt and ran a kangaroo court.
😄😄😄😄 that's hilarious, CTV accusing anyone of misinformation
It means ctv can continue to label anything misinformation and the public will eat that crap up & you won’t have to report on Epstein’s friends ( your bosses), adrenachrome, Hollywood pedos lucifarian WEF etc. Sleeeeeeeeep
Media bankruptcy!
CTV the cowards that won’t report liberals corruption
Not much for CTV.
MSM outlets will lose their licences?
CTV should be very worried!!!!!!!!
Alex Jones’ batting average is significantly higher than CTV, which is the propaganda wing of the biofascist Liberal Party and has dropped the ball on nearly every major story for years. Imagine CTV was found criminally liable for all of the lies they’ve promulgated.
He is right 99% of the time and gets sued that much? The mainstream media is in a lot of trouble
Nothing! Because the NEWS is the biggest spreader of misinformation on the planet. 🖕🏽
If Canadian courts and juries would operate under the same concept, our terrible PM JustinTrudeau should be brought through to the exact same end for his words.
I think we should just outlaw all media except CBC. One consistent message of Truth. Open to naming suggestions...perhaps...I dunno....Ministry of something. Maybe Ministry of Truth?
Well he’s right most of the time, unlike CTV the lying propaganda machine. When I read an article from you, I know that the opposite it’s true.
It means that the only opinions that we are allowed to consume are those that have been approved by the government. Alex Jones shouldn't fear the government the government should fear Alex Jones. This was a coordinated attack Aimed to control what opinions you have access to.
Our 'leaders' demanded we get a jab which they sold as 100 precent safe and effective. We now know that was misinformation. When do we sue?
Better than fake news CTV
What about CTV's constant misinformation?
How will it impact CTV who seem to be doing the same thing?
Fools... You are the kings of misinformation.
CBC NEXT PLEASE
It means your next CTV
Speaking of misinformation.
Media outlets like the Midnight Star, the National Enquirer, , CBCNews will now be at risk of litigation.
I hear is looking to hire him, fits in with the narrative coming out of the liberal_party media arm.
CTV news is a bit they posted the same sorry 6 times to shove it down peoples throats lol
Misinformation, wonder how much CTV News & other Legacy Media outlets will be sued for pushing ‘misinformation’ that maimed millions of innocent misguided souls. 🤯😘
idk, if the shooting was real, and him saying it was fake means hes culpable in some way to the outcome from what he said, I wonder how all the people talking about covid being mild when it wasnt feel when people who believed it have been attacking people who believed reality?
Harry Reid stood in the Senate and said Mitt Romney never paid taxes during the 2012 presidential race. When he retired, he laughed about it because he made it up. Also called a lie when you make stuff up or more delicately stated 'misinformation'.
nothing at all....ppl will say whatever they feel like...been this way for about 100,000 yrs now...it is called an 'opinion'
Alex Jones is pretty on point 60% of the time.
CTV= Conspiracy TV
A show trial by a corrupt and fully bought out judicial farce.
More like the future of 'unapproved' opinion.
Even when Government and Legacy Media get busted, it's never misinformation.
It’s caped at $750k.
You can mislead people simply by what you say and what you don't say. Or cherry picking. “Journalism is printing what someone else does not want printed: everything else is public relations.” George Orwell
The devious art of lying by telling the truth Misleading by 'telling the truth' is so pervasive in daily life that a new term has recently been employed by psychologists to describe it: paltering.
it means nothing . why would it affect what you do?
So he gets fined millions for misinformation that essentially just hurt feelings. outlets like CTV have been pushing all kinds of misinformation that has caused real harm, so when are you going on trial CTV?
It means we can all sue CTV now. 😉👍
Why is this posted every 6 hours?!
What he does is not merely“misinformation”. He assaults, misrepresents, abuses, harasses, and lies in an attempt to misinform.
More of it, since people who say they're against it can profit from it now.
I hope CTV never goes to trial for misinformation because I love your channel a lot 😢
CTV might be next. And they got way more money
' the future of misinformation ' Said the ministry of truth.
That I hope you're shut down
You mean like CTV?
If I were him, I would appeal. Years ago long before this lawsuit he retracted what he said about Sandy Hook after meeting with some of the family members. It's the media that wouldn't let this go, not him. The only reason why this lawsuit exists now and not earlier, is money.
It means he's going to countersue
Why post it twice?
I don't know Why don't we start with 'mild' that caused so many people to become disabled.. or the lies about which masks to use... Should we start holding media, in general, accountable for who they bring up as 'experts' I like this... 2 way street thing
Congresspeople have protection about misinformation (lies) when on the floor of Congress. Can’t be prosecuted.
Opinion is now misinformation if you don’t agree with it.
Trudeau and his cabinet are in big trouble?
Hopefully he will..........🤣
If you’re going to knowingly and willfully spread disinformation that can harm others, be prepared to open your chequebook. FOX, OAN and Newsmax may have to go the same thing for Dominion Voting in the future.
I don't have a problem with what nutters say because I'm not a nutter and therefore don't believe a thing they say. It's great for people looking to get paid, like the Sandy Hook people, though.
His case was disinformation not misinformation
Hopefully a lot what he did was awful
Hope CTV is concerned, misinformation comes from MSM on a daily basis
Ctv has spread misinformation. Shut yourself down.
When are you guys gonna get held to account for your missinformation
We do not condone funding crime to try and change our Western culture. 9/11 & virus 2020 were crimes against humanity & no guns were used. Research on going into how they got funded.
EpsteinClientList
This is a joke, CTV news is full of misinformation
It means next time they must make sure crisis actors used can't be recognize after an event?
THEATRE. THEATRE. THEATRE. THEATRE. THEATRE.
Misinformation so invalid that it has to be silenced and cancelled..
I would hope its just the beginning of people being held accountable! Now do Fox!
Its capped at 5 million $us dollars due to Texas bankruptcy law and will have NO EFFECT on Alex Jones or Infowars.....none.
Says CTV the super spreader of misinformation.
This is huge, but I have a good feeling this will be over with quickly.
nothing really.. other than you'll keep attacking right leaning people. CTV is guilty of misinformation every day of the week, as is the rest of the MSM.. but none of them will be prosecuted... not until the people stand up and take over.. then its Nuremberg for your asses
What does Alex Jones’ US$49.3M verdict mean for the future of the justice system?
It means CTV will be forced to actually report news instead of their opinion pieces with 'experts'
Joe Rogan is taking his place
That people will probably watch what they say lol
Donald might have to start thinking before he speaks… nah he’s Teflon
Lol, Is full of misinformation
Are you worried?
He was right!! He just couldn't prove it...
The future of what now? The hypocrisy of you posting this doesn't have a word in any language to describe its severity. When will leftwing trash networks/media, such as yours, start showing even a shred of integrity again?
Absolutely nothing. He won’t change. None of them will change. Ever.
What does this mean for all the fake news stories CTV runs as truth?
Hopefully it means that there's now a precedent for all of the garbage lies that the MSM has been feeding us for the last 2 years solid, and they can finally be held accountable and give Canadians back their tax dollars
It means Orwell was right.
You mean like the nytimes Reporting there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq or Like CTV saying if you get the vaccines You won't spread or contract the virus...and that its entirely safeand mean like that misinformation or climate emergency
It means we can go after the CBC & CTV for fakes news !
You people have 0 future!
It means it’s all up to you guys, and CBCNews to carry the torch
It means you better stop pushing the useless dangerous jab and Trudeau's illegal mandates and restrictions. Start telling the truth.
Dude thinks lizard people are real lol and Aliens are real lol 😂 we the only life in the universe nothing else is out there
The media is a target rich environment for lawyers.
I personally believe the quackscenes are causing myocarditis, pericarditis, seizures, paralysis, miscarriages, stillbirths, a wide range of other symptoms, and even death. I believe those who have taken the quackscenes shed and spread to others.
It is my opinion that those responsible for the quackscenes, quackscene passports, and other mandates should be arrested and tried for manslaughter and maybe even murder. Enough time has passed where it is now undeniable.
Trudeau took political prisoners, froze bank accounts, seized assets ... turns out the 'so-called' Freedom Convoy WASN'T so 'so-called' at all!
Shared 'Justin Pierre James Trudeau I hereby place you under citizens arrest for the following: - violating the Charter of Rights and Freedoms - illegally freezing Canadians bank accounts and seizing their assets - forcing vaccinations that maim and murder countless Canadians'
Apparently nothing for CBC, CTV, CNN, MSNBC…
Nothing there is a 750k max on lawsuits in Texas
Don't fight one World 🌎 government and you won't be stepped on.
First it was the truckers, next it will be the farmers, and soon it will be everybody There won't be anybody left for Trudeau to vilify Many people have woken up to Trudeau's fascism & anti-Canadian policies; in the end everybody will be wishing they would have woken up sooner!
Let's face it! Trudeau pushed against the people with toxic quackscenes and illegal mandates. The people pushed back with the convoy. Trudeau vilified those people. He took political prisoners. Make no mistake! A lot of those restrictions were dropped because of the convoy!
The irony of this coming from
Remember Kenny vs Spenny 😂
CTV that talks about misinformation LMAO!!!
It means you guys are in big trouble I guess
Only believe what the government and media tell you?
How much will mainstream media pay for the 2 years of covid vaccine misinformation?
