    Far-right InfoWars website files for bankruptcy protection.
    The Guardian (Moderate Left) • Factual Grade 76% • 4 min read

    Alex Jones, founder of InfoWars, was found liable for damages in three lawsuits last year filed after he falsely claimed the 2012 Sandy Hook school shooting was a hoax. He accused several families of victims of being paid actors trying to promote gun restrictions.
    ...
    [Infowars] voluntarily filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Chapter 11 bankruptcy procedures put a hold on all civil litigation and allows [companies that file for it] to prepare turnaround plans while remaining operational. InfoWars listed its estimated assets in the range of $0-$50,000 and estimated liabilities in the range of $1m to $10m. On Sunday, Jones asked his listeners for financial help to stay on the air.
    ...
    In late March, Jones offered to pay each plaintiff $120,000 to resolve the lawsuit. Court filings said: “Mr Jones extends his heartfelt apology for any distress his remarks caused.” The families rejected the offer. The families targeted by Jones say his conspiracy theories have led to death threats and harassment from Jones’s followers.

Should there be a maximum age limit for serving in Congress?

Context: Concerns raised about long-time senator's mental faculties.

HIGHLIGHTED COMMENTS

Yes - There should be no stigma associated with aging, and everyone would be wise to prepare for their golden years, and accept them when the time comes. An unfortunate aspect of reaching one's senior years is that one likely loses touch with the concerns of current society, and simply cannot perform the same way as they once did.


No - I think rather than an age limit, government officials should have to pass a mental fitness test in order to be in office, just like many pe...



Unsure - Perhaps term limits by legislation is the solution. Not age. Voters get to choose, t...
