AUSTIN, Texas ― A former employee of Infowars and Alex Jones said he was laughed at after repeatedly warning staff to stop publishing falsehoods about the Sandy Hook school shooting that left 20 kids and six adults dead.
In a video deposition played for jurors Friday during Alex Jones defamation trial, former Infowars employee Rob Jacobson recalled the guilt he felt whenever the 2012 Sandy Hook shooting was part of the broadcast.
Jacobson told a jury he felt complicit even though he wasnt directly involved in the Sandy Hook lies. He said he told writers and staff at the outlet that they were violating journalistic ethics.
When [Sandy Hook] would come on the screen, I would make it my business to go in to the writers and explain to them as clearly as possible ... what those ethics are and why they are violating them and what the damage could possibly be, Jacobson said.

And surrounded at his job by people with absolutely none.
