We put one post up there about how we need to have the government censor various right wing websites. We mentioned Alex Jones' website as one of those sites.
He went on his show shortly thereafter talking about an Obama web forum that was trying to shut down his website.
At the very least he does not do his due diligence to check the validity of what he reports. I could go to my Spam folder in my e-mail and report some pretty amazing stories of things going on in the world. But that is about as believable as anything Jones spits out.
I tend to see two types of libertarians, those who understand that government just does not work. That pouring more money into something only makes things worse (including wars). Then there is the Alex Jones conspiracy types who believe that government works so well that they are responsible for EVERYTHING in this world down to the color of the juice you drink (blue is turning you gay because the NWO wants you to be).
The conspiracy types tend to fight with us against big government, but for different reasons. But they get in the way when trying to have a rational debate.
Alex Jones isn't a real journalist. He's not an investigative journalist. He's not connected and doesn't have a legit background. Max Keiser has a legit background, he worked on Wallstreet and started virtual currency businesses way back with the Virtual Stock Exchange. Max Keiser is legit. Alex Jones is a fraud who never really had any credentials in anything that he discusses.
Have any of you looked up Alex Jones background to discover his lack of credentials? For someone who claims to know what the global elite is doing he could at least be a former elite or related to someone elite or have worked for someone or something elite. He isn't even from an ivy league background.
I'm not saying you have to be from an ivy league background but you should at least have been a part of that world or have interviewed people who have been. Alex Jones interviews a lot of complete con artists who don't know shit.
