Following his trial for defamation of the families of the children and school staff killed in the Sandy Hook massacre, conspiracy theorist Alex Jones is using Valve Corp.’s Steam, the world’s largest digital distribution platform for PC games, to sell an Infowars-themed video game. Jones claims to have earned hundreds of thousands in revenue from the video game, yet he has refused to pay the Sandy Hook families. Alex Jones: NWO Wars also mirrors and cartoonishly repackages the conspiracy theorist’s regularly violent, hateful rhetoric despite the platform’s policies against hate speech.
Did Alex Jones ever hold a broadcast license for the fairness doctorine to be applicable?
Pretty sure he got popped a few years ago for his pirate radio. And then got popped with the biggest defamation fine ever.
An alex jones doesn’t become an alex jones without a rush limbaugh and a fox news. And you don’t get a rush limbaugh or fox news at the scale of influence they had without what reagan did to the Fairness Doctrine.
They would have otherwise stayed on the fringe, where they belong (if anywhere) to make their spurious, wholly unfounded claims about how the children that were shot in the face with an assault rifle weren’t shot in the face with an assault rifle.
