Social media users expressed confusion and alarm, with many initially believing the announcement referred to American conspiracy theorist Alex Jones rather than the Welsh broadcaster. Several users posted references to the American Jones 'popping like a balloon' and defaming Sandy Hook families.
“This is the same guy (unless the BBC is referring to another Alex Jones) that said for 15 years that Sandy Hook was a 'staged' shooting and was sued successfully for millions of dollars for defaming them. BBC, what the hell are you thinking!”
