Adan Salazar did not watch the documentary 'We Need to Talk About Sandy Hook' in its entirety.

I believe I tried to get through it. It was so long that I probably just got through the 30 minutes worth of it or something, yeah. Fair. I'm familiar with the documentary. Okay. And you didn't have anything to do with making that documentary, did you? No, sir. Did you promote that documentary on your social media platforms? I might have. I can't recall. Do you know whether Infowars ever promoted that documentary? I believe I wrote an article about it when it was taken off of Vimeo or something. Other than that, I don't think we promoted it. I just read about it being censored. Did you express your own disagreement with the fact that certain platforms had chosen not to publish it? Well, I did write an article about it. I don't know if I expressed a personal opinion in that article. Did you know at the time that the We Need to Talk About Sandy Hook documentary I figured that was the central tenet of the documentary, but I didn't watch it in its entirety, so I kind of had to just guess that that was what they were going for.

InfoWars promoted the documentary 'We Need to Talk About Sandy Hook' with a laudatory sub-headline.

On December 2nd, 2014, Infowars posted the video of this documentary on their site with the sub-headline, quote, Documentary Blows the Lid Off Suspected Sandy Hook Cover-Up. The article includes this, which sounds pretty laudatory. A loose coalition of concerned citizen journalists known as the Independent Media Solidarity have produced an in-depth, well-researched documentary regarding the countless anomalies, inconsistencies, and discrepancies evident in the Sandy Hook school shooting investigation. The video is a tell-all, leave-no-stone-unturned work that coalesces hundreds of data points which researchers laboriously spent countless hours compiling.

The documentary presents the Sandy Hook controversy as merely an excuse used by opponents to attack Alex Jones for supporting Trump.

Sandy Hook is not coming up as an instance of something really, really bad that Alex did in his career. It's being presented as something that people are only mad about because they needed an excuse to attack him because he supported Trump. This is a choice that Alex Moyer is making as a filmmaker. She didn't have to include the Sandy Hook outrage as merely the result of people needing to justify hating Alex Jones. Alex's Sandy Hook coverage isn't even mentioned chronologically because in the context of this documentary, the important thing isn't his coverage. It's the way people got unfairly mad about it because he liked Trump.
