Chobani yogurt company sues Alex Jones

[jmyrlefuller]

 Greek yogurt giant Chobani filed a lawsuit Monday against right-wing radio host Alex Jones, accusing the conspiracy theorist of publishing false information about the company.

Chobani says that Jones and his InfoWars website posted fabricated stories earlier this month that linked Chobani owner Hamdi Ulukaya and the company to a sexual assault case involving refugee children. The company filed the lawsuit in Idaho District Court in Twin Falls, where it operates the largest yogurt plant in the world.

Karma.

Its a mother

I think its kind of funny that he's crying that the media isn't being respectful of him and his family about his custody case.

This is the guy who says that the victims of Adam Lanza at Sandy Hook don't really exist.

I remember them from TOS. Based on nothing more than the guy's name.

There were also conspiracists saying they fund terrorism

I think that came from the not-fake-news reports of the company hiring hundreds of Middle Eastern and other Muslim refugees.

For Helping Immigrants, Chobani’s Founder Draws Threats
By DAVID GELLESOCT. 31, 2016

By many measures, Chobani embodies the classic American immigrant success story.

Its founder, Hamdi Ulukaya, is a Turkish immigrant of Kurdish descent. He bought a defunct yogurt factory in upstate New York, added a facility in Twin Falls, Idaho, and now employs about 2,000 people making Greek yogurt.

But in this contentious election season, the extreme right has a problem with Chobani: In its view, too many of those employees are refugees.

As Mr. Ulukaya has stepped up his advocacy — employing more than 300 refugees in his factories, starting a foundation to help migrants, and traveling to the Greek island of Lesbos to witness the crisis firsthand — he and his company have been targeted with racist attacks on social media and conspiratorial articles on websites including Breitbart News.

Now there are calls to boycott Chobani. ...

Even Jones has abandoned and apologized for that little piece of idiocy.
