Megyn Kelly and NBC News take the gloves off in Alex Jones interview and now he's mad
Megyn Kelly presented a highly critical 19-minute piece on conspiracy theorist Alex Jones on her NBC newsmagazine “Sunday Night” after a week of harsh criticism over the decision to present his views on network TV.
Jones is notorious for saying the 2012 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., was staged to promote tougher gun control laws. Twenty-six people, including 20 children, died, making it the second-deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history at the time.
NBC News brought on its elder statesman Tom Brokaw to join Kelly at the end of the program to say the parents of the Newtown victims “should not have to hear the cruel claim that it’s a lie.”
Brokaw’s appearance was clearly an attempt to assuage the Sandy Hook families who were outraged and even threatened legal action against NBC News.

So, parents of Sandy Hook victims "should not have to hear the cruel claim that it's a lie"...? Well, maybe NBC shouldn't be giving airtime and visibility to the most-prominent voice claiming that it's a lie!
Seriously, this reminds me of back in the '60s, when "documentarians" churned out films examining the shocking pornography being produced elsewhere in the world. These documentaries were a blatant effort to cater to the public by providing lots of footage of hardcore porn, while keeping up the fig-leaf (so to speak) that they were merely "deeply concerned" about the immorality threatening the youth of this country because of their possible exposure to the same porn films they were including in their own movie.
