Alex Jones and his dangerous Infowars platform were permanently banned from Twitter yesterday, with Jones’ benign insults against CNN reporter Oliver Darcy finally doing the job that his xenophobic rhetoric and smear campaigns against the parents of murdered children should have a long time ago. Now, with literally no…
As welcome as the decision of pretty much every internet media platform to purge Alex Jones’ putrid breed of “truth-telling” from their systems may be, some people out there are not so thrilled. No, we’re not just talking about Twitter, stalwart protector of the very worst forms of free expression—we’re talking about…
Confirming its status as the social media platform where propagating conspiracy theories that hound the families of school shooting victims out of their homes won’t get you banned, but pretending to be an Italian Elon Musk will, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey refused to give in to peer pressure—the coolest kind of…
YouTube has a far-right problem. The online video platform’s reluctance to actually deal with the wackos, nihilists, and hatemongers in its midst has been widely noted and critiqued, and today YouTube responded with a move that, frankly, has been a long time coming: It finally deleted The Alex Jones Channel. The…
Spotify has just become the latest online media hosting service forced to reckon with its responsibilities re: the propagation of hate speech, with the platform announcing today that it’s pulled some—but not all—of its episodes of Alex Jones’ Infowars off of its servers. (At present, there are still 613 episodes of…
Well, hey, it looks like some celebration is in order! After all, it’s not every day that Infowars host Alex Jones turns out to be right about something (even if does end up happening several months after the fact). But, true to his word, it really does look like YouTube is targeting the reality skeptic/ Brain Force …
In September, Pepe The Frog creator Matt Furie decided to get hardcore about protecting his intellectual property when he started filing DMCA takedown requests with Reddit, Amazon, YouTube, and Twitter in an attempt to prevent his now-infamous cartoon from being used as a racist meme by the neo-Nazis who call…
The last time we saw Milo Yiannopolous he was dropping the lawsuit he filed against publisher Simon & Schuster over the cancellation of his book deal. This was despite the fact that the discovery process had already made public the embarrassing notes process in which his increasingly frustrated editor repeatedly …
There’s a reason everyone was dunking on Infowars chief loon Alex Jones when he posted the below tweet this Thanksgiving:
No matter what the White House might have you think, Infowars and its chief “performance artist,” Alex Jones, are not paragons of virtuous journalism. In fact, their “news” is every bit as fake as the supplements that entire empire is built upon. Their story about a child slave colony on Mars, for example, was…
Today in “How The Hell Did We Get Here?”: NASA’s had to deny that it founded a child slave colony on Mars. As for just what prompted The Daily Beast to even reach out to NASA for a statement on a child slave ring operating on Mars, the root is, as you might have already suspected, InfoWars. The rather dubious claim…
Bad news for anyone whose daily supplement regiment currently includes both Goop-approved Sex Dust and Alex Jones’ personal stock of Super Male Vitality: It turns out that they’re pretty much the exact same thing, marketed to two very different sets of consumers.
As every proud member of the resistance knows, Alex Jones and his Infowars website manages to avoid corruption from the globalist mainstream media by dint of not being subject to the elite corporatist demands of facts and evidence. Not only does that change the face of reporting, as Jones has said with little thought…
Infowars host Alex Jones’ blood is 98 percent beef fat, which gives him levels of persistence and courage far beyond that of most mortal men. And his efforts have finally paid off, as Infowars has been granted a White House press pass after months of Jones putting on one-man shows about how it was on the verge of…
While The Late Show With Stephen Colbert has found its footing, both comedically and ratings-wise over the past year, it’s hard not to miss “Stephen Colbert,” the Bizarro World version of Colbert who nimbly parodied right-wing blowhards for so long on The Colbert Report. And while “Colbert” has returned infrequently…
The custody battle of InfoWars’ Alex Jones has been an embarrassment of embarrassments, what with its endless procession of revelations about Jones’ incredible preteen sexual prowess, his dank meme skills, and his insistence that he’s just a performer playing a part in life’s conspiracy theory cabaret. All of these…
Is Infowars founder and chief meatball Alex Jones actually a performance artist “playing a character,” a “number one meme” who’s taking us all for a ride? We may never know. What we do know, however, is that he’s a shitty father, a weed scholar, and a supposed sexual dynamo, having bagged “probably 150 women” by the…
Alex Jones is dangerous. He is a stone-cold lunatic who preaches conspiracy under the guise of Christianity to an Infowars audience of more than 50 million people. Read Jon Ronson’s new Kindle single, The Elephant In The Room: A Journey Into The Trump Campaign And The “Alt-Right,” for some context or, y’know, just…
