    He’ll never cry like a Sandy Hook parent. Never know loss like a Sandy Hook parent. There’s literally nothing that could make me feel sympathy for him.

      Justice from the law usually, but not always, has one person thinking that their sentance was a miscarriage of justice.

      So good. Cry Alex. Cry a fucking lot.

      His cry looks like a Rittenhouse cry to me.

    Believing he was really crying ain’t much better than believing any other shit he spews. It was fake tears to grift his fans.

    People are choosing to believe it, because it’s what they want to believe.

    Which is true for the people who believe any of his lies…

    Be better than Alex Jones’s fans.

    Quick edit:

    And it shouldn’t need a reminder, but it’s been years since WB bought CNN and they’ve openly been saying they want it to be more like faux news

    These articles are the manifestation of that

    Who cares if it’s real? This’ll get clicks and give the poors something stupid to be mad about

    Please, for the love of God, everyone needs to stop consuming “news” from CNN. It’s a frog boil to make Dems more like Republicans, and it’s fucking working

      Oh I saw CNN air this. They had absolutely no pity for the tears and the anchors basically said “sucks to suck, doesn’t exactly inspire sympathy”

      Is there something specific in this article that triggered your CNN comments? I didn’t actually read it but just curious.

        Weird way to phrase that…

        But just the type of “news” this is. Repeating something everyone knows is bullshit, but it’s what people want to hear so they’ll mindless spread it on social media

        If you’re not aware, CNN is more on the “entertainment” side of “entertainment news” these days.

        I don’t know how, but a lot of people seem to have already forgotten.

        That article is from two years ago when the sale happened, and CNN fired everyone that objected to the changes.

          I was genially curious with my question. Not trying to throw shade. I do not read much CNN articles these days.

          I guess this story being news worthy is debatable, but seems like it shouldn’t be posted in the political community.

            If he was really crying then maybe, but probably not even then.

            CNN could at least run a real headline:

            Alex Jones fake cries to grift money, and you’ll click the link if we pretend it’s real, so that’s what we’re doing now

    I think Alex Jones is a crisis actor. His company and assets were never real anyway.

        Ironically his “making the frogs gay” bit is more rooted in fact than many of his other stuff. In many other cases (such as Sandy Hook) he’s ranting freely, based on nothing. The frogs thing is at least based on a study that concluded male frogs were affected by chemicals that can make them able to reproduce with other male frogs. So it’s loosely based on a creative interpretation of something real.

          When he is reporting something he is not straight up lying about he just skims the headline and then makes up stuff about it. You can sometimes see his brain work in real time, for example when he spots something in the body of the article that actually goes counter to his narrative he just yadda yaddas right past it and immediately moves on to something entirely different.

      Crybully. It’s likely fake. Gotta rev up the persecution complex to get attention for the renamed podcast that opens immediately after.

      If he’s even really crying and not just putting on a show, which he almost certainly is. He’s a sociopath, bitter and resentful, and remorse is s foreign concept to him. Hopefully nobody gives him a job once he’s been bled dry. I want to see him living in a cardboard box under a bridge, then see somebody come along, kick him in the sack, and steal his box.

    If this blubbering sack of shit cried every waking moment for the rest of his wothless life he wouldn’t shed as many tears as the parents, families, and friends of the children who were murdered at Sandy Hook did.

      He might have fake-cried on air, but I’m hoping he real-cried at home and at the lawyers once he realized the Sandy Hook families weren’t going to go for his ‘deal’ that let him off the hook for a measly few million and the judge wasn’t going to let him get rid of the debt in bankruptcy. I hope he ends up on the streets.

      • @Buffalox

        I agree, but whether it was fake or not, I’m certain that he feels sorry for himself, and finds it unfair that is actions should have consequences. His behavior is so psychopathic, that I would be very surprised if he isn’t one.
