He knew it was bullshit, but hey at least the pay was good right? It’s ok to be publicly sorry after the moneys been spent right? But then again this interview was about his memoirs, so really it’s still just about making more money. It’s ok to be sorry for money I guess. /s
Exactly. He’s not sorry; he’s promoting his book.
Hey Sandy Hook parents, found you someone else to sue
"Yeah it was all lies and bullshit, but I made good money. Buy my book!" What a self serving asshole. I'd say I hope he never gets work again, but I'm sure some right wing shitstain would hire him in a second.
yeah go to hell, josh
"Why's everybody so mad? I'm not Alex Jones, I'm just the guy who created fake evidence that legitimized the terrible shit he said that fucked up so many innocent lives. Blameless! Oh, also:"
Fuck you, Josh. You helped bring [gestures wildly at everything] about.
There's no such thing as an honest conservative.
There’s no such thing as an ~~honest~~ conservative.
This actually isn't true! Alex Jones himself openly admitted that it's all made up bullshit and that at first he was shocked anyone believed any of it. Of course, he said it perfectly knowing that none of his vewiers would ever read a written interview. Or read anything, really.
Was that in the sandy hook case? I'm curious if he said that in self defense or if he really admitted that freely.
lol
May Josh Owens meet the same end as the children who he claimed were "crisis actors".
What a fucking shame that a judge stop the Sandy Hooks families to sell their infowar asset to the Onion
I wonder what would happen if people just stopped working for shitty companies. Like all at once. Don't quit, just stop working, get fired and file for unemployment. Obviously it would crash the unemployment system. But I think the loss of labor would be a pretty significant disruption. Not the same level as a general strike. But more targetted at bringing back some semblance of corporate ethics. The hardest part would be determjning which companies weren't shitty.
Shocking revelation of shock jock schlock
whaaat? Fuck you!
Heh. I did work for a client who was a Jones partner for about seven years because the pay was very good.
Yeah, the lies, conspiracy theories, and general insanity were annoying, but it was interesting to watch them spiral themselves into oblivion.
It would be really terrible if his "book" ended up as a free download on 100 different websites.
Nobody buying that book can figure out how to download anything but porn and viruses.
