Alex Jones needs to be exposed, not ignored
Megyn Kelly launched her new NBC program three weeks ago by interviewing Vladimir Putin. American politicians routinely call the Russian president a murderer, and he is universally believed to have meddled in the U.S. election, but there was no protest of Kelly for that meeting.
Not so for her sit-down with provocateur Alex Jones scheduled to air Sunday. Many have asked that the prerecorded interview not be aired, and advertiser JPMorgan Chase has temporarily canceled its support of NBC News.
That Jones is dangerous and a faker is not subject to reasonable debate. The issue is whether it is best for him to be exposed or ignored. My answer to that question is that it depends on how he is interviewed by Kelly.
Consider that Jones was recently a litigant in a child custody battle in Texas. That case said a lot about how our political discourse has been driven into a ditch. Jones was fighting to maintain sole custody of his three children. His ex-wife, Kelly, was seeking sole or joint custody. She said he was not a stable person, and part of her argument was his media persona.

(194 posts)Who put families of Sandy Hook through an unbelievable hell. Exposed to who? Those gullible enough to live on a steady diet of Fox News. Fuck Alex Jones and Megyn Kelly, as well as NBC. These crazies have been normalized enough, they need to fade back in to obscurity or at the very least not appear on the nightly news. This Country is truly a disaster. JC.

They don't know how to respond to that.
