Interesting quote from the Alex Jones trial . . . [View all]
“Truth — truth is so vital to our world. Truth is what we base our reality on, and we have to agree on that to have a civil society.”

What Jones did was to promote unfounded OPINION to a group of people susceptible to believing the government would murder 20 children to 'take away the guns.'
That's why it's important not to confuse OPINION with honest journalism. It's like equating religion to science.
If someone honestly cannot tell the difference they should follow Abraham Lincoln's advice and "Remain silent and be thought a fool rather than speak and remove all doubt."
If, on the other hand, they really do know the difference and speak anyway those who pay attention to them are the fools.
