Why is Alex Jones?

theHating: This is why you need to buy brain force plus, because i have designed all my facts around my products.

Inforwars has been described as sort of a QVC for internet conspiracy theorists that like to grift on in their mothers' basements. Starting on the public broadcast in austin, tx, alex jones has published fake news and far-reaching, lizard-based conspiracies since the turn of the 21st century.

To put it nicely, alex has not aged well, and his viewers seem to ebb and flow. However, alex's preservation proved to be a successful exploitation of every teen and twenty-something in their conspiracy phase. It seemed as though he was just another naturalpath magazine, reaching a few hundred thousand small-minded individuals for a short amount of time. After a few years with alex, and with the last developmental stages of the brain, most people begin to see alex is clearly a modern day snake oil salesman.

So what the hell happened in 2016?

theHating: In terms of journalism, what has boosted alex jones to become more far reaching than newsweek, or even npr? Understandably, the fact that money is what produces news anymore. All forms of dissent are not welcome. Even fox news does not tolerate outright neo-nazis chanting about white supremacy rights.

So, more and more people are relying on new forms of dissent to take in the world and compress it into soundbites for the laymen to digest more easily. If we were lesser men, we would all run Scientology clinics.

Alex jones is still subject to market incentives as is any other journalist on youtube. PERIOD

theHating: Which leads me to ponder:

Is the claim "google's search engine is useless and suppresses the truth" complete bullshit?

Or is the claim " alex jones speaks the truth" complete bullshit?
