for a man who admits to sexually assaulting women, openly mocks the disabled, and has been found guilty numerous times of lying and cheating working people.

We were done when that happened, what we are seeing now are the dying days.

As to this topic, the fact that NBC even considered letting this PUNK on national TV, well that just confirms for me how completely done we are as to a society that deserves ANY respect.

Are they serious - they is about money - profit - nothing else.
GEM$NBComcast doesn't give a flying fugg - well maybe the legal one.

The CNN article says as much. Its stated intent is to shame NBC into pulling the interview, and it will fail at that. The families already know this. But, they would like to keep their legal options open should they decide to file suit later on. And to make their anguish very, very public.

A lawsuit is also unlikely, as not a single Sandy Hook family member wants to go through that kind of trauma. What they want is for Alex Jones to STFU and not be on national television, but NBC doesn't seem to care about what the families want. Shame, decency, and journalistic integrity are sadly lacking at NBC.

No one's trying to make it one. It's a question of journalistic ethics, discretion, sensitivity, and the foresight to understand the consequences of your actions.

Presenting Alex Jones as if he has a "side" or a legitimate position about the events of Sandy Hook is a false equivalence of monstrous proportions, and should be called out for what it is. There are no sides here. There are events that happened. If a person chooses not to accept the facts as they are, that person is a cruel, and possibly dangerous, idiot.

This broadcast will cause harm to the families. It has already caused harm. The suffering parent is sitting at the cubicle across from my office. Trust me, his anguish is real, and there's no "side" to that, no way to spin it. Alex Jones getting a national microphone and attracting more kooks is going to make his anguish worse.

The fact that THAT is not being proclaimed by NBC, is a travesty. Anyone who claims otherwise should be ashamed.

Here's what I told them:
I guess you can take the "reporter" out of Faux news but you can't take the Faux news out of the "reporter." By giving air time to Wingnut Fever Dreams fantasizer Alex Jones, NBC seems to want to be Faux Lite.
