"...R.J. Rushdoony pointed out the sophistry of governments based upon freedom:

'….[A] society which makes freedom its primary goal will lose it, because it has made, not responsibility, but freedom from responsibility, its purpose. When freedom is the basic emphasis, it is not responsible speech which is fostered but irresponsible speech. If freedom of press is absolutized, libel will be defended finally as a privilege of freedom, and if free speech is absolutized, slander finally becomes a right. Religious liberty becomes a triumph of irreligion. Tyranny and anarchy take over. Freedom of speech, press, and religion all give way to controls, totalitarian controls. The goal must be God’s law-order, in which alone is true liberty.'5

"True liberty is found only in Yahweh’s perfect law of liberty:

'But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.' (James 1:25)6

"James was not describing some New Covenant law that freed us to do whatever we wish. That kind of freedom is nothing more than baptized humanism, which eventually leads to anarchism, one of the quickest paths to legal slavery. Instead, James described the same perfect law of liberty – Yahweh’s commandments, statutes, and judgments – as did King David:

'So shall I keep thy law continually for ever and ever. And I will walk at liberty….' (Psalm 119:44-45)...."

Given that Alex Jones used his platform to spread filth and deliberate lies about numerous topics, including Sandy Hook, I have NO sympathy whatsoever. Moreover, the media in this country are heavily biased toward the Right. One should note in particular the role of Fox News in supporting the "Big Lie" -- a crime that Rupert Murdoch acknowledged.
