News Media Reacts to Alex Jones Needing to Pay Nearly $1B to Sandy Hook Victims

As the jury reads the damages and the Sandy Hook parents weep, Alex Jones is on his broadcast, laughing and assuring his audience that he won't actually be paying any of this money.

The jury is awarding HUGE damages (hundreds of millions of dollars) to the families of the Sandy Hook victims, which I imagine will basically bankrupt Alex Jones and his associates. And it is exactly what he deserves for the damage that he's done to these people.

The damage Alex Jones has done to the lives of these families is horrific—nearly a billion dollars doesn’t solve their pain-but also true that the end of infowars would be a public service

An historic jury verdict is announced in Connecticut against Alex Jones for preying on grieving parents and Fox News begins talking about the Steele Dossier with Devin Nunes.

Donald Trump: "Your reputation is amazing. I will not let you down."
Alex Jones: "Well I'm impressed… thank you so much, sir."

Shame on them both.https://t.co/7BbQr95w9a

No amount of money will ever replace the victimization and heartless cruelty that Alex Jones inflicted on these families but this jury’s verdict of 100s of millions of dollars levies a steep price on this vile human being’s lies and malicious intent pic.twitter.com/RfhJUJijOl

Whatever "hell" Alex Jones believes he is experiencing is not even a fraction of the pain he inflicted on the families of Sandy Hook victims. Hell is losing a child to gun violence, and then having the memory of your child exploited and viciously lied about to sell supplements https://t.co/wiZFXYLDzJ
