Will the spate of lawsuits against fringe media stop the flow of conspiracy theories?
Hope so. But then, where would Whell get his "news"?

Keep up the criticism on all their public-facing outlets, it may be starting to have an effect. The local affiliates have some real journalists who are quite upset with this blatant propaganda.

A Boston man who was falsely identified as the gunman in the Parkland school shooting by the conspiracy theory website InfoWars has filed a defamation suit against the site and its creator, Alex Jones, contending that the posts have exposed him to damaging volleys of online abuse and threats that show no sign of slowing down.
“Many harassers seem to believe my client is part of a false flag operation conducted by ‘the deep state’,” said attorney Mark Bankston, who is representing 24-year-old Marcel Fontaine in the suit filed on Monday in Travis county, Texas, where InfoWars is based.

We can thank Russia, Faux "News", and some very, very ignorant voters for the current moron president*.

Fox dumbs it down to about a 4th grade level for the viewers, including the Dotard.

I read a piece yesterday where Jimmy Kimmel has kids on his show competing to spell (as in misspell) like Trump. $100 a pop it seems.
