During the Bush years he was one of the loudest "9/11 is an inside job" conspiracy theorists out there

He spent his career accusing both parties of the most ridiculous things. Some kind of huge anti government thing

Somehow nowadays he worships the current president.

To be fair, it was a very odd event. No photos, contradicting info, and they tore the whole building down.

He's basically an entertainer that people enjoy listening to for entertainment purposes, but media companies don't like that.

If he just went and properly acted like an entertainer, not tried to come off as "real" (despite admitting in the past he's a gimmick) and his supporters didn't believe he was an actual reporter it wouldn't be quite so bad.

The problem with him just being an entertainer is he kind of ruined his own life for his act. His wife left him and won in court to keep him away from his kids because of his "act."

He's a professional asshole that makes money off of his audience's stupidity by putting on a ridiculously over the top uber conservative persona (he has admitted in court documents that the whole thing is an act) and hocking dietary supplements, but who has also gone a step further in that schtick by essentially getting his audience to hound family members of Sandy Hook victims.

Conspiracy theorist who preaches some pretty (hilariously outrageous) dumb shit.

He's just the easiest one to censor to start with, though, because it's a "no brainer". Obviously it won't stop with banning just him, but it'll set a precedent (which people don't realize is the goal).

He said that the Parkland(?) shooting victims ( that school shooting) was a hoax and they were crisis actors. This prompted his fans to harass the parents of the victims in real life. I think they sued him for this.

And it was struck down in the courts because they couldn't prove beyond a shadow of a doubt those people did that to them because of Alex Jones

tl;dr: he's not part of the liberal stranglehold on the mainstream media. He's also a patriot who supports the Constitution and President Trump. Thus, they are going after him with everything they have.

Here's some of his quotes turned into a folk song:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWd6XgBVIcg" data-time="


The tl;dr is that he's a conspiracy theorist who runs his own "news network" over the last 20-30 years and has a habit of buying in to some of the most insane conspiracy theories. Some people watch him for the lulz, but he's gotten banned for everything for going too far when he called a school shooting a hoax and some of the parents got harassed so badly that they had to move (multiple times).

He knowingly does it because he can manipulate them. He is the cause behind it and the one that should be punished over morons who are dancing to his puppet strings.

Most well known conspiracy nutjob. He became pretty famous mostly from people memeing him for the ridiculous shit he would say.

John Oliver did a piece on him that would explain his entire business model much better then I'm going to.

I hear ya. I just think its better to put the accountability on people who choose to make decisions based on him saying words. Its just easier for people to punish the talker rather than those who actually physically do stupid or bad things, so thats the route we go because we are lazy.

At times like this, I'm reminded of the words of Abraham Lincoln (different situation, obviously, but same gist): "Must I shoot a simple-minded soldier boy who deserts, while I must not touch a hair of the wily agitator who induces him to desert?"

Jones says and does all this shit, hypes people up into harassing innocents, and then he gets to claim "No, it's a persona, I don't actually MEAN any of it!"? No. He knows full well what he's doing; it's damn near yelling "Fire!" in a crowded theater.
