    Alex Jones

    Nice to see the man behind infowars finally brought to book and exposed as the charlatan he is. He may believe some of the conspiracy theories he peddles but his real intent seems to have been to fleece money from those he has duped for his own personal gain. (Doubtless Robus will disagree &#128512.

    Of course the state will not always tell the truth but people like Jones take any grains of genuine concern and distrust and magnify them out of all proportion for their own ends and to push their own agenda. The real question is perhaps why so many buy into these beliefs. Only in America eh?

    I wouldn't say it's only in USA.
    Misinformation is everywhere now. A person needs to be very careful where they get their information from nowadays.
    Gullible people especially need to be careful.

    True-but the problem is that gullible people are rarely careful!

    Imagine being that family, losing your child and then reading that it's all fake and you're a crisis actor. And the ongoing harassment they received from those that believed what was peddled.

    Great to see some proper punishment for that sort of thing. Misinformation really can be damaging.

    I can't get my head around how his legal team leaked his entire phone to the opposite legal team and then made no effort to make it privileged. Either they were terribly incompetent, or they weren't acting in his interest.

    I am sure there is a law that will allow him to sue his legal team and recoup the money he has to pay out....America is one big circus devoted to money.....

    I haven’t seen the One Show for several years. I understand she has had a family but blimey she really has gone downhill since I last saw her based on her picture on the news!
