Who Likes Alex Jones and INFO Wars?

I don't really know anything about Alex and the INFO WARS. I know he was heavily criticized for saying Sandy Hook was a hoax, a claim he has backed away from.
Everyone, including Alex, is merely human, and is prone to the occasional bit of nuttiness. Maybe Alex is a nut most of the time, I don't know. So what?
Being a nut is not an issue of good vs. evil. But, trying to deplatform or censor people for conservative views is evil. The Truth needs only freedom to spread. But, Lies need the truth to be oppressed.

He's a crackpot, but when I am up for some entertainment I try to listen in. Hey, have you ever heard of William Cooper? He was the daddy of conspiracy theorists in the late 80's and 90's. Many of his broadcasts are available online, so if you like Alex Jones you'll probably like him. He always opened his show with the sounds of an air raid siren and jackboots marching. Good stuff!
If the things I have read about him growing up are accurate, he is likely quite mentally ill. But I agree that he knows exactly what he is doing. His own attorneys argue that no reasonable person would believe what he says. (I realize that will irritate some people here, but that's their argument.) One of his attorneys has said that Jones is a performance artist. "Judging Jones by his Infowars performances would be like judging Jack Nicholson by his depiction of the Joker on 'Batman...'” Jones was featured in some startling news a few months back, when the lawyers for the Sandy Hook murder victims received documents from Jones as part of discovery, and discovered pornographic images of children embedded in the files. Attorneys for Jone assert that they must have been hacked and the pornography place in their system in order to set them up. The FBI has been involved in an investigation and found that at least some of the images had been sent to an Infowars email address, so it could have been maliciously sent. Fortunately, the FBI has excellent resources in the computer crimes division and will eventually be able to clear Jones or convict him through a forensic examination of his computer systems.
How do you like the the big three news people (CBS, NBC, ABC)? I guess you can add CNN and CNBC to that mix as well. Personally, I tuned them out during the Trayvon Martin/ Michael Moore hoopla, and haven't paid much attention to them since.
It seems like the more gullible people in the U.S. get their news and from those guys, and form their opinions based on what they are fed from them.
I really don't think he would take offense at anyone for saying thst he exibits nutty behavior at times, because I don't know what else he could call it.
With regard to Sandy Hook, I think that he simply questioned what happened there. He never claimed that the incident never happened.
That's cute, but the corporates have largely abandoned him. Facebook, Google, and Pay Pal have banned him. You-Tube has banned him also. It is also my understanding that if you have a Facebook account and you make positive postings about Alex Jones, you may also be banned. Shadow banning may also occur on You-Tube if you exibit any INFOWAR logos or promote Alex Jones or INFOWARS in any way.
I really admire his tenacious ability to survive the negative onslaughts and to fight back by promoting his own line of products to support his broadcasts.
