He lies obviously at times and then he will switch into a more serious mode where he is getting his real point across. Aside from people calling into the show that he pays and some of his more insane rants, he is actually overall a good person.
It has become very popular to hate Alex Jones, actually I would say that it has become a meme. All I ever see is conjecture, edited audio to make him look bad, and flat-out nonsense where's the proof that he's a CIA agent? A lot of people like to use the example of him blurting out that the arabs control hollywood. Actually, arabs do invest in hollywood www.businessweek.com... Oh and of course, the number one meme associated with alex jones: He's a fearmonger! No, he's not. The things he talks about are scary, theres no getting around that. Big deal, we live in a very scary world. If you study other tyrannical governments throughout history, and you observe what is going on in this country, you better damn well be scared. I was freaked out at first after I woke up. I went thru my Neo episode but I got through it Alex isn't trying to scare you for the hell of it. He's essentially telling you that your house is on fire and you better do something about it. But he's trying to sell you things! Oh, like all his movies which are free on youtube and he supports the fact that they are free? Have you ever noticed the set he used to work on back when he first started compared to now? Theres a world of difference. He's running a very professional studio now and he's hired dozens of people that he has to pay. Where do you think the money comes from? People buying his stuff, the ad money, etc. Ooooh capitalism, so evil what are you guys, a bunch of socialists? who cares if he's making money? This is like stupid kids screaming "sellout!!!" when a band gets signed to a big label or something. As if they should scrape by their whole lives. grow up
Alex Jones is working on a New Contest with a $100K Prize...Contestants have to "register" directly with Infowars by filling out and signing a form. First, that prize seems about 20x the average size of an Infowars prize which makes me suspicious as to who is funding it. Secondly, the "sign up-registration" process is a good way to get the names of those who are actively protesting the government. Does anyone else feel that this is all suspicious?

Why won't Alex Jones address the rumors of him being CIA or a shill?
Has he? That would make things easier..

I wish I could make the money he does sitting his fat ass in front of a microphone and getting people to buy stupid collodial silver snake oil that he shills on his site.

You might accuse me of being a troll for asking this simple question. When is it OK for a journalist to knowingly lie?

Alex Jones is a man making money off making people paranoid.
He's a showman - nothing more, nothing less. The more he gets people riled up, the more attention he gets and the more money comes in through the door.
You don't have to be a CIA agent to understand that basic fact of the entertainment business. Controversy=money if you pitch it right.

I am sure you can tell by my previous posts on this thread that I am no fan of AJ. And I'm not trying to rub anybody up the wrong way.
What I cannot understand about AJ's fans or people who commend the man is this: he has been proven a liar
many times.
Yes a lot of his material is spot on, but that means nothing if he is prepared to lie and twist things, infact it is all the more a case to raise suspicions concerning his credibility.
I've listened to AJ on and off for years and there always comes a point when I find him to be dishonest. To me this is inexcusable, and that is what I don't get when it comes to his fans.

I have provided examples of Jones's lies on here in the past and they are always ignored by his apologists.
I haven't the time right now but I can provide some examples in the next couple of days.
