Quoting Pocket's obvious hyperbole too just to have this all in a row; can you not see how the fact that you interpreted a statement which was explicitly conditional on believing the vile lie as applying to you added to the perception that you were promoting that lie?
And honestly, you haven't said much that makes any sense from any perspective other than believing lies.
Unless you are seriously arguing for some "right" to lie without consequence.
You missed my point. Here's the offensive part. You left it completely out, but it speaks volumes to why all sides deserve to be heard and why we're on an incredibly slippery slope. At some point, the Overton window moved from allowing all speech and letting the public digest and decide on the argument's merits, to censoring in the name of the public good. Safety for liberty is always a bad trade off. My question Nova, is are you holding CNN to the same standard? They LIED and caused living children to be harassed, maligned, and put in harm's way. Should CNN be completely destroyed? The Washington Post? Any pundit who weighed in? Oher than CNN running the Covington story for political reasons, It is the same standard., but in my opinion, worse.
And I'm looking forward to you being banned immediately for bringing that jive in here.
Reminder that Alex Jones is not the only conspiracy nut:
Mike Adams at Natural News claims that 72 nations are openly worshiping Satanic idols, making Natural News less credible than Weekly World News

So...Mike Adams. I listen to him when he guest hosts. and comes on as a pundit. He absolutely changed my life with two different reports:
1) Incorporating All natural, Apple Cidar Vinegar intermittently into my hydration.
2) 72 hour water-only fasting.
Again, one screen, two different views. That article, clearly shows actual events. Artistic? Satanic? Well, there's the rub.
Let's use "spirit cooking", for an example. Maria Abramovic is seen a performance artist to many. Yet, by every definition, and a few of their emails, it points to something darker. Should she be able to practice it? Absolutely. Does it make it non-satanic? Not so much.
Okay. Now we've established that: Second question.
Did Alex Jones lie about this event by claiming it didn't happen even though it did, on his show?
Lie? No. Did he get it wrong? Yes. However, he was opining on the story as he believed it unfolded. He clearly stated to the judge that he believed he was telling the truth. And I stated that and explained some of, my theory on how this happened already:
Infowars made mistakes.
They didn't vet Wolfgang Halbig. It was a serious mistake, and at the time, he presented himself as a very credible 40 year (from memory) law enforcement and emergency management expert. He was recommended by Dr. Steve Pieczenick, a seemingly very credentialed person in his own right. I'm close to this story currently and only connecting dots....so I'll spare you any further "conspiracy" on this, but I'll just say there's a trend in Pieczenick's past appearances on Infowars over the last few years. Doesn't matter at this point, but if we're going to hang Alex Jones justly, then we're going to need a lot of rope for the other MSM outlets, because they ALL got something, somewhere, terribly wrong, from WMDs in Iraq, to the Covington kids, to Russian collusion, Gulf Of Tonkin...etc.
Did Jones Lie? No. Did he report erroneously? Yes. Did CNN lie about Covington? Yes. Why? They knew the "Black Israelites" (No relation to the ones ruling the world), were instigating before the entire event was STAGED, and edited clips to demonize kids wearing MAGA hats....which also weaponizes it politically and put them in very real danger.
I also think it's important to note at this point that my first exposure to "conspiracy theory" surrounding Sandy Hook came from a friend of mine who was a federal law enforcement officer at the time, who took MSM reports of what Lanza was carrying and did the math on how much weight a guy Lanza's size would have been lugging around during the assault. He's not an Infowarrior though, just a cop making an observation based upon his own tactical training.
