It's what they do when they know they're wrong.

Their tactics are to ignore it and go say something stupid on some other post.

Jones has admitted to lying, he did it to make a buck. There's not a 100% right to free speech. If you knowingly lie and it damages people you can be sued.
AUSTIN, Texas — Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones testified Wednesday that he now understands it was irresponsible of him to declare the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre a hoax and that he now believes it was "100% real."
Not believing something is real isn't lying.

Where did he admit to lying? Certainly not in your quote.
Like this.

It's just a huge money grab by greedy people, both the relatives and the lawyers, aided by a justice system that is only too happy to destroy a conspiracy theorist with conservative leanings. What about the people that actually harrassed and threatened the families? Why wouldn't punishing them be enough along with a reasonable payout by Jones depending on the degree to which he encouraged them and knowingly spread misinformation. Paying them each tens of millions of dollars is not justice. That said, i think Alex Jones is a swindler who tapped into people's distrust of government with half-baked grandiose theories. I just think his money would better be transferred to some organization that actually helps victims of crimes rather than a bunch of rapacious moneygrubbers.

I'm totally in favor, so long as Donald can put together a case and get a jury to agree to it
