fuck alex jones and anything relating to him. seriously, why would anyone with half a brain pay attention to infowars in 2015?

Hint people: if during their "conspiracy" rant they try to sell you supplements - it's bullshit.

Every show on cable TV advertises prescription drugs that cause anal leakage and suicidal tendencies. But Alex Jones sells a good product that doesn't cause any of those things and oh dear god it's bullshit!

Hint trolls: There's nothing wrong with a business selling products to people who want to buy them.

Empire_of_the_mind

yeah, and we all know shows do it because they have to. when you're /the pitchman/ you can't claim that.

Also I almost forgot... these are videos that you have control over. You don't actually have to buy anything and you don't have to even watch nor listen to the commercial parts. Mute button and skip ahead etc... pretty simple. I don't buy anything from infowars. Doesn't really bother me that they sell things.

The point is that his show purports to serve the purpose of informing the viewer - it clearly does not. Therefore it has no purpose. That's why we talk shit about Jones.

There are many people making talky-youtube videos about the same subject matter who wish to actually inform people and share information and knowledge. Watch them.

Those youtubers copy things Alex Jones made videos about 15 years ago but I still love that they are spreading the info around. Post their videos but please stop fighting with other users because you disagree with the links they give. We shouldn't be fighting each other.

Empire_of_the_mind

some of them do, yeah, but they're easy to ignore like Alex himself. But there are many more. Anyway, I get turned off by anyone pitching product in the middle of some speech designed to rile people up.

Shows don't have to sell prescription drugs. They can choose not to take money from those people if they want.

when you're /the pitchman/ you can't claim that.

He isn't claiming anything. It's a business. He makes money by selling his products and other people's products. Have you ever been to a grocery store? They do the same thing. They sell and advertise their products and sell products made by other people. Who else sells their own products? Michael Jordan does, Katie Holmes, Emma Stone... The list is way to big to list. It's called endorsements. Grow up. It doesn't make anything less credible by selling products.

"Grow up. It doesn't make anything less credible by selling products. "

Lol - of course it does you fucking corporate shithead. As for your examples of Jordan, Holmes and Stone - yeah, well, if they're comfortable selling their image and reputation for another nickel they don't need, I guess it's ok for me, too!

Alex Jones pitches products during his show to earn large amounts of profit. His show primarily exists to extract that revenue for his personal gain. His history has also demonstrated thoroughly that he doesn't give a shit what he says. the point is to get you to watch so he can try to get you to buy shit from him so he can be rich.

End of story.

If Jones were doing the exact same show but without any advertisements or pitches it would clearly be for other motivations and I might take a brief moment longer before writing him off.

Fantastic.

Burn the zooaphobes; then hang them. then burn them again.

Fairly certain I did not violate sidebar rule #2. If it's close the mods should clearly state (in rule number 3) no attacks on people surgically altering themselves to become animals.

Id say he lost his shit, but I don't think he ever had anything to lose in the first place.

Don't be a zoobaphobe!
