Episode notes
Graphic Footage Inflicts Real Trauma
- The hosts stress that encountering graphic violence online causes real psychological trauma and shouldn't be normalized.
- They differentiate documentary footage (can fuel advocacy) from exploitative snuff-like clips that only inflict pain.
Exploitation Of Tragedy For Influence
- Alex Jones immediately reframes the shooting to validate his prior conspiratorial claims and boost his relevance.
- Hosts note this behavior exploits audience fear and redirects it into Alex's narratives and profits.
Harrison Shows A Human Response
- Harrison Smith plays distant footage first and expresses genuine shock while trying to report responsibly.
- That human reaction contrasts with Infowars' usual narrative-first approach.
