Alex Jones admits Pizzagate was a hoax

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/alex-jones-sorry-about-pizzagate_us_58d7bc0be4b03692bea6c261?

In a statement posted to his website and read Friday in a video broadcast, Jones blamed other outlets and social media sites for the “not appropriate” level of attention given to the restaurant and its owner, James Alefantis.

“Neither Mr. Alefantis, nor his restaurant Comet Ping Pong, were involved in any human trafficking as was part of the theories about Pizzagate that were being written about in many media outlets and which we commented upon,” he said.

Jones further conceded that his “commentaries” about the suspected scandal relied upon “third-party accounts of alleged activities and conduct at the restaurant,” as well as upon two unidentified reporters that he said “are no longer with us.”


Unsurprisingly, he said this because, according to Texas law, one must respond within a month to avoid libel charges in court. Jones loves to spew "the truth," but when his money is on the line, that "truth" is open to reconsideration.

Eventually it will stagger so he needs to spend an equal amount of time apologizing for the crazy shit he said as he does saying it.
