In the history of satisfying comeuppances, few can compare to the one that Alex Jones received in a Texas courtroom in 2022. The conspiracy “kingpin” – who for years had spread wilful lies about the 2012 Sandy Hook massacre – was unbraided by the judge for telling lies under oath (“this is not your show!”).

Parents of the child victims of the shooting had sued Jones for defamation after he alleged the incident was staged and that the families involved were “crisis actors”.
