Alex Jones = 0, Loud Mouthed Lawyers = Win Again
You may have heard that Roku, which is some kind of weird gadget that you put on your teevee to watch stuff, decided to schedule Alex Jones on their device.
And all was well in the kingdom, for about 3 whole damn hours. Then everything went to hell in a handbasket.
Roku issued a statement after everybody on Twitter went nuts. And some people even called Roku themselves …
Mark Bankston, another lawyer for Sandy Hook families, described Roku as “indifferent to the suffering caused by Mr. Jones’s continued onslaught of cruelty and reckless lies.”
Roku dumped Alex Jones.
This is exactly what needs to happen to the ooga-booga merchants. Limit the oxygen supply and their revenues fall precipitously. Just a reminder to the knuckle-draggers – this is definitely NOT a free speech issue.
1And a handshake to Mr. Bankston!
2Do people who run companies like that watch the news or check with ANYONE, before making decisions like that???? Alex Jones should have been off limits for anyone.
3Maybe this guy will even start to understand that hate don’t pay. Of course, you’ve gotta hit him in the wallet hard enough. But he’s been losing on all fronts recently.
Maybe he should consider a career at McD’s
4Chalk one up for the good guys!
5It’s still relatively early in the day out here in Hawaii.
(cue Ride of the Valkyries)
I love the smell of napalm in the morning, when it’s dropped on Infowars.
Good job Mark.
6I seriously wonder what the demographics of Info Wars viewers might be, and their potential for wanting to watch other Roku programming.
In any case, someone must be doing a whole lot of ‘splaining to beancounters somewhere…
7Mark Bankston, Esq. thank you. Please keep your legal boot on that fool’s neck. May you have the big win that you and your clients deserve!
8Our illustrious county sheriff, Bob Songer, recently appeared on Alex Jones touting his I Won’t Enforce WA’s New Gun Law spiel. He’s a Patriot Prayer kind of guy. Sick.
9I thought Jones lost his sponsors. It takes wads of bucks to do a show.
10I’m really glad Roku relented because it’s the way I get my TV. It’s a great device if you don’t want to be connected to cable and it’s high cost. But I’m disturbed that they even considered putting him on the service. Some people simply don’t pay attention!
11Go, Mark!
