    Lawsuits don’t “shut people up”. You can stop someone from defaming you, but you can’t sue to end a radio show. Usually sane people stop talking to stop digging their hole deeper, but Alex Jones isn’t sane.

    Lawsuits only assign monetary damages. That’s how they work.

      The readership here seems even less nuanced and mature than reddit in many places.

      Telling people facts they don’t like always, always ALWAYS amounts to being targeted as an advocate of said thing.

      That’s how they work so that’s what they used to try to shut him up for good.
