So much, that they used their little bait-man, Alex Jones, to release an apology to James Alefantis on his channel, in an attempt to sabotage the protest in DC.

The timing of Alex Jones's apology is due to Texas law and the timing of a letter he got from Alefantis's attorney. Before you sue someone for defamation, you have to give them time to retract their statements. They have to make a retraction or apology within 30 of you notifying them that they have defamed you https://www.emedialaw.com/2013-texas-legislature-watch-retracting-the-defamation-and-notifying-about-the-hack/

Jones didn’t say what prompted his apology but it may have been motivated by a letter Alefantis wrote to him in February. The letter demands an apology and retraction for InfoWars’ postings about Pizzagate; it does not threaten legal action, but refers to what Alefantis describes as “defaming” comments by InfoWars.

But the timing of Jones’s apology suggests he was concerned about a potential lawsuit. Under Texas law, the Austin-based Jones had to retract or apologize for the stories by Friday — one full month after receiving Alefantis’s letter — to avoid exposing InfoWars to punitive damages in a libel suit.
