PS. When and if they 'de-monetize Alex Jones', he'd just crawl back in his hole. The only reason he exists is to market on people's pandered fears.
I think Uncle Alex serves a larger purpose as well: Any controversial topic he picks up gets sprayed with Jones-brand bullshit and force-fit into the context of a delusional global conspiracy narrative. With sponsors like Alex, an under-reported story - delusional evidence based - doesn't need enemies. I call this "staining" - making a story sound literally insane to assure that only the most credulous True Believers will take it seriously. I am confident that at least some propagandists employed by major media outlets agree with this assessment; otherwise, why does Uncle Alex get so many free promotional placements on national TV networks? But wait, there's more: Not only does Alex know what is /really/ wrong with the world, he knows how to fix the world, and consistently instructs his audience to follow a two step plan. 1) Expose the Conspiracy by promoting the Alex Jones message. 2) Arm yourself and prepare to kill the Evil People. That's it. Since all the world's problems were deliberately created by a global Conspiracy to both enslave and exterminate everyone else, killing the Conspirators and their puppets in political office will automatically solve all the world's problems. Don't laugh - the Sturmabteilung and other terrorist militias have been recruited by the same basic pitch. Does this make Uncle Alex look like a dedicated, hard working servant of a radical fringe right-wing "conspiracy" a.k.a. political faction among our ruling class? Does Donald Trump's promise to make Alex Jones proud of him appear to tend to confirm this assessment? Nah, that's just crazy talk. :o/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJYsa86AAoJEECU6c5XzmuqAhwH/3sgbEzoY1S6z14bl+GXLocu SRal+ufUZgTYNcTTxD9OdCrCyB5Bm1yzaM4EumerQadZk7Aod8m+jH1HP0nlKc7i 6fmULy38V8CAa40W0qKdYVegxzneuNWN2UMrkGgcxOwp2KKpTsfHzJz9TnDT2f/G xzGjAdRn9iyTogvKGk+2hR4cJCAXjyF/9UYyj1PJ53iyZZtEV4iPGy0cH22MmCUq 3DgGScOZHHBeWdFkTvdge1Ggq8KsTOuCnXeU+T/TZrBYRQklxy8H8Dm6hOLqc/gF oiLRK/a1EUfQtP1a9gXTHQrDr15fuzExYX50d36fXs0Yu9PkHzHJoddWq5SMUHE= =T6Qb -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
