Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body


For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Dude looks like he's trying to pass a kidney stone.

[–] captain_oni@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

With all the shit he puts in his body, they're probably more stone than kidneys at this point

[–] yenahmik@lemmy.world 110 points 5 hours ago (4 children)

14 years...that's how long it took for him to see the consequences of his actions. Unacceptable.

[–] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 2 points 22 minutes ago

And he's still sticking to his shit conspiracy about it.

[–] janewaydidnothingwrong@lemmy.world 11 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

It's been 14 years since sandy hook happened?!

[–] yenahmik@lemmy.world 12 points 1 hour ago

I had to Google it, and if you want to be pedantic, it was technically 13 years and 5 months ago. Definitely horrific it's been so long either way.

[–] Blibly@lemmy.world 39 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

And we all know unless he goes to jail for his debts he won't pay anything to anyone.

[–] frongt@lemmy.zip 32 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

Jailing people for debt is a terrible idea. Just garnish his pay and seize his assets.

[–] DiarrheaSommelier@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

He's hiding his assets in plain sight and the courts are letting him get away with it.

[–] Brummbaer@pawb.social 1 points 1 hour ago

Yeah, that is not the end of him nor his money.

They just let him put everything into his new business and I would not be shocked if he will see some of the money the onion has to pay for infowars now.

The rich have class consciousness, the poor don't.

[–] foodandart@lemmy.zip 17 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I think this already been done.. hence The Onion taking over infowars.com.. or.. is that on hold?

Not sure..

[–] silence7@slrpnk.net 14 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

The problem is that he hid most of his assets and is trying to pretend to the court that he is broke

[–] ByteJunk@lemmy.world 13 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

Ah, but that's jail time if they prove it.

[–] frizop@lemmy.world 22 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Justice Delayed is Justice Denied

Unless the recompense for the delay is a suplex.

[–] j_elgato@leminal.space 45 points 5 hours ago

All hail the Onion!

[–] BeanGoblin@lemmy.blahaj.zone 29 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

He's not going anywhere. He stalled the process for so long he already moved a lot of his money and audience to a different platform he doesn't own.

[–] yesman@lemmy.world 15 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Loosing the brand is a big deal. But not as big of a deal as being de-platformed. Alex's troupe is a ghost compared to what Info Wars was in 2015.

What Alex has accomplished is dragging this out until a time when right-wing media is in decline nationally. Yea, Alex is still around, the same way Blockbuster has a store or two.

[–] Bahnd@lemmy.world 10 points 4 hours ago

One store, the one in Anchorage closed a while ago. The shop in Bend, OR is the last blockbuster.

[–] Kowowow@lemmy.ca 5 points 4 hours ago

He might have moved on but he's not his own boss anymore and he's fallen off enough I doubt he's biggly's top talent so there's no way he is ever satisfied being where he is forced to do a show he has come to hate and be a bootlicker for trump no matter how much trump attacks him

Monday -
Alex Jones: It's a lie! I'm still in control of the studio!

Friday -
Studio locked. Lights out. Alex isn't in control anymore.

[–] TachyonTele@piefed.social 18 points 6 hours ago

Suck it Jones

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 8 points 5 hours ago

The info wars are over. He lost.

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 10 points 5 hours ago

This is just one overgrown boil that just fell off the host organism .... the rest of the body is still riddled with stage four cancer

I’d probably have to put in a few extra hours a week to pay that back. Problem is, I’m retired!

[–] Janx@piefed.social 3 points 4 hours ago

It doesn't happen often enough, but it's always good news when a hate-sewer spewing toxic disinformation is sealed up.
