Alex Jones’ reckoning is upon us

Alex Jones’ attorney today argued that “no reasonable reader or listener” would expect that Jones spoke factually on his show, Infowars.
Attorney Mark Enoch today spoke on Jones’ behalf in a Travis County, Texas courtroom. In a particularly contentious moment, Enoch attempted to explain away a Jones claim that an interview between CNN host Anderson Cooper and one of the plaintiffs in today’s lawsuit was faked in front of a green screen. Jones’ proof was that Cooper’s nose appeared to disappear each time he turned his head, evidence of a botched attempt at a composite shot. “When [Cooper] turns, his nose disappears repeatedly because the green screen isn’t set right,” Jones claimed on the show. (According to CNN, and a video forensics expert hired for the court case, the effect was actually a common occurrence, a compression artifact that often happens in video encoding.)
