Its a doc on MAX.

It follows the legal trials of Alex Jones in regards to his claims about Sandy Hook. It's horrifying what the parents are going through constant harassment and death threats.

Something needs to be done about disinformation and fake news.

Well in this particular case something was done. Alex got sued for everything he's worth.

Ibty consumed transparent propaganda uncritically. Sweet. Most people would just scroll past transparent Regime propaganda, but ibty was like, "[Oh wow, this title that rhetorically places Alex Jones himself in opposition to "The Truth" seems like a trustworthy source of information. A pathos argument applied to Sandy Hook families sure makes me want to surrender more liberties to a centralized totalitarian state. Ooooo-weee!]"


[ibty]: "Something needs to be done about disinformation and fake news."

Maybe we could make another Ministry of Truth which is tasked with going through the historical record and labeling as "wrongthink" any information which contradicts the Regime's approved narratives? That way, even if the information we're fed is absolutely incorrect, we can at least be assured that it was the Great and Glorious Party which fed it to us, and any actions we took with that information ultimately served the Illustrious and Benevolent Regime!

Who determines what is fave news, or disinformation?

The government tells more lies and BS than even the church.

And have actively caused worse tragedies (waco for example)

Idk the details, but the gist is that Alex said the shooting was a hoax of sorts, correct?

And then, zealots went and harrassed the parents, correct?

Now lets do "fact checkers"

Not Alex Jones. Yes assholes exist in government thats why you need checks and balances and real oversight.

It goes well beyond "a few zealots" being mean.
Threats of violence and even death threats. Over 20% of US population believe Sandy Hook was staged and at times googling "Sandy Hook" will more likely get Alex Jones Bullshit. Even the non public parents say they get recognized on the West Coast far from Conn.
Losing a child is a horrible and traumatic experience no one should be forced to relive this
