about it. while joins portrays his business as a media outlet, and reality it s his online story that uses his commentary to sell merchandise like vitamins and coins. the sale about stuff allegedly making jones a very rich man. his company worth upwards of 200 and $70 million. this by filing for bankruptcy earlier this year. for more on all of this, we are joined by msnbc legal analyst, glenn questioner. glenn, what do you make of this punitive damages award? do you think it is going to turn alex jones into something of a martyr? as we showed at the top of the segment, he s still broadcasting on the site, even saying the trial itself was quote staged. you know katy, as you say grifters were grift. this may make him look like a martyr to some of his gullible followers who are willing to stand him money. i have to hope it sends a message to other conspiracy theorist who have a platform and who can broadcast that this
