Not quite.

What Jones did to the Sandy Hook parents,

• targeting them on-air once per month for a decade

• sending his staff to disrupt their memorial events

• reading out their addresses on air

Etc etc

This was a malicious campaign against private individuals, that really fucked their lives.

On the other hand, sure, people say things about Jones, but he's a public figure. He has a platform from which to respond to allegations.

When the Young Turks claimed that Alex personally sent child porn to the Sandy Hook parents, Alex sued TYT in court and got a retraction. So, Alex is absolutely aware that he can use the same laws in his favor. Alex Jones is "out there" suing people who slander him, and winning.

Unfortunately for Jones, what other people say about him, is nowhere near the severity of what he did to the sandy hook families.

And not just them, Alex is also in court for slandering someone called Marcel Fontaine.

After the parkland shooting, a random 4chan post claimed Fontaine was behind the shooting - and within minutes, Infowars were repeating the claim on-air. So they're also being sued for that, too, just lifting defamatory fakes directly from 4chan, as Infowars did and continue to do.

So it's not the same at all.
