Defendants spread horrendous false smear Jones was responsible for sending child porn.
As the suit states: “The defendants launched a campaign of lies and libels against their media competitor and ideological opponent, Alex Jones. Defendants virally spread one of the worst smears that can be spread about anyone: accusing someone of one of the most infamous federal felony crimes, even though defendant knew Jones was actually the victim of that crime.”
We must recall that Mr. Jones was ordered by a court to turn over his server (as part of the suit by the Sandy Hooks parents), which turned out to have child porn in unopened emails.
I quote from the following link:
"FBI officials determined the images "had apparently been sent to Infowars email addresses."
The filing adds: "It is worth noting that if the Jones Defendants had engaged in even minimal due diligence and actually reviewed the materials before production, they would have found the images themselves. Because the Jones Defendants did not do that, they transmitted images to the plaintiffs that if they were knowingly possessed is a serious federal crime."
Note that Mr. Jones had been sued for defamation by a father of a slain Sandy Hook child. The father won the case.
Now, it appears that hackers had sent the porn emails to Infowars. For reasons unknown, no one at Infowars opened the emails. For reasons unknown, Inforwars, as part of the discovery process, submitted these emails, along with others.
Does Mr. Jones have a case against the Young Turks? Perhaps, since they claim that Mr. Jones knowingly transmitted child porn to the plaintiffs. However, even if he proves the libel, he can still lose the case for not having a reputation that can be materially harmed.
Jones only sued those who refused requests for retractions and corrections,” said Robert Barnes, the attorney for Alex Jones. “Other defendants who similarly fail to retract or correct can look forward to future lawsuits. The media may think it’s Goliath, but it’s time it met David on the battlefield.”

Hmmm.
David was a lean young kid, and he was sober when he faced Goliath.
Somehow, I just can't see an prematurely aging alcoholic with fat clogging his arteries who yells like Goliath will ever become a good enough David to win the fight.
Make no mistake. Jones isn't fighting the media. His fight is with the some real sharp journalists. They have all the rocks in the riverbed and are the Davids to sling those rocks at Goliath Jones the Big Blowhard.
Like Goliath, Jones brought the fight. Like the Bible, Jones will end up dead on the battlefield.
He'll lose again. He'll never win. Everybody realizes he's a bottom dwelling liar and quite possibly mentally ill.
You think the law, is not applied equally to some? Me too.
