The Spin
Pro-establishment narrative
Alex Jones has promulgated dangerous conspiracy theories and hateful rhetoric for decades, and he is finally being forced to pay for the damage he's caused. Jones has somehow managed to amass a sizable following, and his lies about the Sandy Hook massacre added even greater anguish to families who tragically lost their young children. Jones and his followers should be ashamed of themselves, and he must compensate the Sandy Hook victims in every way possible.
Establishment-critical narrative
Free speech is under attack in the US — and Alex Jones is one among many to be persecuted and censored for his anti-totalitarian message. He has repeatedly acknowledged the legitimacy of the Sandy Hook shooting and has apologized for any harm his comments may have caused to the families. The legal attack on Jones has nothing to do with his comments on Sandy Hook but rather with the fact that he has exposed the deep state’s attack on our liberties.
