He said that Infowars had “disassociated” itself from the story in December and had taken down the majority of broadcasts and videos that mentioned it. Mr. Jones also said that two reporters the show had worked with “are no longer with us,” although he did not identify them or discuss the exact nature of their work with Infowars.
“To my knowledge today, neither Mr. Alefantis, nor his restaurant Comet Ping Pong, were involved in any human trafficking, as was part of the theories about Pizzagate that were being written about in many media outlets and which we commented upon,” Mr. Jones said. “We apologize to the extent our commentaries could be construed as negative statements about Mr. Alefantis or Comet Ping Pong, and we hope that anyone else involved in commenting on Pizzagate will do the same thing.”
Of course, this leaves the true believers with few options. Perhaps they will have to admit that Alex Jones is nothing but a shyster peddling bullshit for profit.
Actually the conspiracy/truther communities already consider AJ to be a 'shyster peddling bullshit for profit.' AJ is widely considered by these communities to be what is called a "gate-keeper" or "controlled opposition." Basically his job is to lead people who are just beginning to get into the conspiracy/truther movement down the wrong path so that they never actually find actual truths. He affirms some actual truths that newbies would have suspicions about, thus gaining their trust, and then propogates bullshit alongside it, so as to lead them astray.
