A producer for conspiracy theorist Alex Jones's media company tried to paint a sympathetic portrait of him Thursday as a jury decides how much in financial damages he should pay for his past claims that the 2012 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary school was a hoax -- a move that lawyers for parents of a child slain in the massacre immediately rebuked as hypocritical.

Daria Karpova, a producer at Jones' Austin, Texas-based Infowars website, testified that that the pressure of multiple lawsuits and trials has taken a toll on Jones. He's been "stressed out" and can't relax even while on vacation as he's been constantly worried about his programs and money over the past four years since being sued for defamation.

"When people lie about you it affects you negatively, it affects your well-being? Do you understand the irony, the hypocrisy of making that statement in this courtroom right now?" asked Mark Bankston, attorney for Neil Heslin and Scarlett Lewis, parents of 6-year-old Jesse Lewis, who was killed at the school.

Jones has since acknowledged that the shooting took place, but insists he's not responsible for the suffering that Sandy Hook parents say they have endured because of the hoax conspiracy, including death threats and harassment by Jones' followers. In one video clip presented by defense attorney Andino Reynal from 2017, Jones invited the families of Sandy Hook to come on his program for an "open dialogue"

I'll take Alex Jones over CTV any day.

A story about a despicable excuse for a human brings out the Canadians In Name Only trashing media..... Wow.

Oh no. You can't be wrong about something

You’re full of sh.t ! That wasn’t a trial ! It’s a total conspiracy against democracy ! They are trying to destroy his reputation because he’s right on target. Their afraid of him because he’s getting the truth out there !

CTV talking about hypocrisy = hypocrisy Nobody slanders, misleads, and outright lies more than CTV and the captured corporate media.

Conservative Media pretends that people could have sympathy for Alex Jones. 🤣

Let’s see🤔Which side is CTV, and which side is Alex Jones?

Such a waste of space that one 🙄

Alex Jones MSM

He sure tells a lot more truth than you do, fake-news.

I remember him talking about vaccine mandates in early 2020. It's always good to get both sides of the story. I wonder how CTV would make out if they got sued for corvid misinformation?

If you don't like him, don't listen to him! Nobody ever made me buy a copy of the National Inquirer, nor did I anyone seek to ban it.

The scum of the world, in a very crowded field.

I trust jones more then I trust our bought and paid for government news

CTV rebuked as purveyor of Fake News and Far Left conspiracy theories.

It's fun to point and laugh at the utter incompetence of Jones' team through all this, but in the end I hope the parents of those children are left alone after this.
