The Spin

Left narrative

SCOTUS was right to reject Alex Jones's appeal, upholding a well-deserved defamation judgment. Jones' false claims about Sandy Hook were more than an honest mistake; they incited harassment against grieving families. The First Amendment doesn't shield deliberate lies that provoke suffering, so this ruling ensures accountability and prioritizes justice for victims over Jones' baseless financial pleas.

Right narrative

Like many media pundits before him, Jones has undeniably been a purveyor of disinformation, but this trial was stacked against him from the start. The case was created by Democrat officials and law firms years ago, whose goal wasn't to protect Sandy Hook families but to destroy Jones forever. This sets a dangerous precedent: say something that challenges the establishment left, and face crushing legal consequences.
