Speaker 1 (00:06):
Hello, and thanks for joining this breaking news edition of
good News for Lefties on bayobul Frocklin, your host. The
Supreme Court delivered a decisive victory for truth and accountability
on Tuesday, refusing to hear Alex Jones's final bid to
overturn the one point four billion dollar judgment against him
for spreading lies about the twenty twelve Sandy Hooks school shooting.

(00:27):
The move leaves intact a powerful legal affirmation that disinformation
has consequences and that families shattered by tragedy deserve justice,
not ridicule. Jones, whose far right outlet Info Wars fueled
years of harmful conspiracy theories, was found liable in twenty
twenty two for defamation and emotional distress after falsely claiming

(00:51):
the massacre was fabricated. Jurors in Texas and Connecticut ordered
him to pay billions to the parents and survivors, who
endured years of harassment from his followers. The Supreme Court's
action marks the end of Jones' attempt to storm the
courts with appeals, leaving him accountable for his relentless deception.
The ruling also clears the path for Info War's court

(01:13):
ordered sale which could soon place the once toxic platform
under new management. Earlier this year, a judge approved turning
its parent company over to a receiver, opening the door
for the Onion, the satirical news outlet, to acquire and
transform the site's assets. Many see that potential handoff as
poetic justice, a platform built on cruelty, possibly reborn through

(01:36):
the art of parody. Attorneys for the families called the
ruling a major milestone in their long struggle for accountability.
The Supreme Court properly rejected Jones's latest desperate attempt to
avoid responsibility, said Chris Maddie, who represents several families. We
look forward to enforcing the jury's historic verdict and making
him answer for the harm he caused. The decision stands

(01:58):
as a reminder that truth still holds power, and that
those who weaponize lies against grieving families cannot hide forever
behind microphones or money. That's it for today's breaking News
