I think Alex Jones is a crisis actor. His company and assets were never real anyway.
I think his tears are making the frogs gay.
Ironically his “making the frogs gay” bit is more rooted in fact than many of his other stuff. In many other cases (such as Sandy Hook) he’s ranting freely, based on nothing. The frogs thing is at least based on a study that concluded male frogs were affected by chemicals that can make them able to reproduce with other male frogs. So it’s loosely based on a creative interpretation of something real.
When he is reporting something he is not straight up lying about he just skims the headline and then makes up stuff about it. You can sometimes see his brain work in real time, for example when he spots something in the body of the article that actually goes counter to his narrative he just yadda yaddas right past it and immediately moves on to something entirely different.
Either the tears are real or they are fake.
If real, it shows that the ‘tough guy’ is a sniveling baby who can’t handle a problem like bankruptcy, something millions of people have gone through.
If fake, it’s even worse, because it shows that in his twisted mind, he’s more deserving of sympathy then the people he vilified.
Either way, he’s scum.
Nah, that man faked cried on his show so regularly, I don’t believe he is capable to really cry, at least on air.
And the 'if real" statement (absolutely not real) is wrong - he wouldn’t cry because of the existential dread that naturally comes with processes like that, he would cry because of his persecution complex “uhuhu they’re so unfair to me” which arguably is worse.
Not because he is a whiny baby, but because all his rage and anger are so impotent.
Believing he was really crying ain’t much better than believing any other shit he spews. It was fake tears to grift his fans.
People are choosing to believe it, because it’s what they want to believe.
Which is true for the people who believe any of his lies…
Be better than Alex Jones’s fans.
Quick edit:
And it shouldn’t need a reminder, but it’s been years since WB bought CNN and they’ve openly been saying they want it to be more like faux news
These articles are the manifestation of that
Who cares if it’s real? This’ll get clicks and give the poors something stupid to be mad about
Please, for the love of God, everyone needs to stop consuming “news” from CNN. It’s a frog boil to make Dems more like Republicans, and it’s fucking working
Is there something specific in this article that triggered your CNN comments? I didn’t actually read it but just curious.

Weird way to phrase that…
But just the type of “news” this is. Repeating something everyone knows is bullshit, but it’s what people want to hear so they’ll mindless spread it on social media
If you’re not aware, CNN is more on the “entertainment” side of “entertainment news” these days.
I don’t know how, but a lot of people seem to have already forgotten.
That article is from two years ago when the sale happened, and CNN fired everyone that objected to the changes.
I was genially curious with my question. Not trying to throw shade. I do not read much CNN articles these days.
I guess this story being news worthy is debatable, but seems like it shouldn’t be posted in the political community.

If he was really crying then maybe, but probably not even then.
CNN could at least run a real headline:
Alex Jones fake cries to grift money, and you’ll click the link if we pretend it’s real, so that’s what we’re doing now
