Alex Jones is an excellent resource. He covers things other miss. Yes, he seems kooky at times, but I always consider his opinion worth hearing. I tend to agree with him 75% of the time.
I tried to find the article but couldn’t get past the woman who got third degree burns from her overheating bikini.
From my shallow and short understanding of Jones, I would say he is correct about 50% of the time - mostly obvious stuff - but he then dives off the deep deep end with the other 50% or so with pure BS or by trying to connect dots that simply do not connect. The correct 50% sucks some people in IMO and they tend to give credence to the other 50%. Dangerous recipe.
Drudge seems to be on an anti-globalist kick lately. I kinda like it.
Anyone dumb enough to consider Alex Jones a worthwhile source of news is beyond all hope. The common refrain “I agree with him 50% of the time” is more accurately translated “I’ll continue wasting my time on a news source that I admit lies at least half of the time”. Sad.
“Alex Jones is no more or less kooky than anyone at “All Things Considered” at NPR”
Exactly. If he loses credibility for this then he loses credibility for some liberal sites he links to.
Don’t like Alex? No problem. But let’s modify the standard first.
Everything is on Drudge. If Jones can’t be on there (and NO IM NOT A FAN)then neither should links to most liberal lying scum publications.
Illustrating that Jones is indeed the imbecile I knew he was.
WTF is Alex Jones?
Every once in a while I come across him on XM. He will talk about a point for hours. And he says nothing.
Its not that I don’t believe him, or disagree with him. Really, he says nothing.
I dont know how he stays in business.
I do not question Drudge’s right to link the site nor Alex Jones’s right to free speech. I would never inhibit nor sanction any such activity, however it is a question of credibilty when sources are as dubious as Alex Jones. Free Speech always.
And he is a lot less kooky than 95% of Congress, 100% of the administration and the all of the FBI.
ALex Jones did a number on another group in 2010. He upstaged their protest:
