• Alex Jones Verdict

    From Jeff Thiele@1:387/26 to All on Thu Oct 13 12:29:45 2022
    From yesterday's Borowitz Report:
    -----
    A Connecticut jury's imposition of a billion-dollar penalty on Alex Jones
    will have a "chilling effect on lying," Tucker Carlson warned.

    Choking back tears as he delivered his commentary, the Fox News host said
    that the jury's decision "was no more and no less than a direct attack on
    the lying life style."

    "For those of us who make our living by spreading falsehoods, baseless conspiracy theories, and extremist fever dreams, this is a time to be
    afraid," he said. "Very afraid."

    "I think I speak for many Fox viewers when I say I don't want to live
    under a tyranny of facts," he added.

    Carlson's concerns about the impact of the jury's decision on the
    mendacity profession found support on Capitol Hill from Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene.

    "I want to say that the jury was manipulated by mind-control rays beamed
    down from the Rothschild family's satellites, but now I can't afford
    to," she said.

    (For those who are unaware, the Borowitz Report is satire and is plainly labeled as such.)
