Why do you find it necessary to lie so much? Is your own position so weak that you feel you have to?

Well don't you except Fox, Brietbart and prisonplanet (Alex Jones outfit)? I saw you quoting the Blaze on another topic... I suppose you except them too?

 

Or do you, praise the LORD!, think these media are corrupt and lying with impunity?

I didn't even know what prisonplanet was.

 

The link to The Blaze showed the actual statement the FCC director made. Best thing I can say about Fox is that it's slightly less evil than the others, and not as bad a CNN or MSN.

 

The first three letter in assume is ASS. You would be wise to keep yours to yourself. Of course, if you were wise you wouldn't believe have the crazy beliefs you do. And you wouldn't need to resort to dishonest tactics to just to be able to debate.

Well good for you. I can tell you that Trump knows and even called upon Alex Jones for support.

 

The problem I have with the blaze and Glenn Beck is that he preaches the world crumbling around us and then seeks to sell you gold through his site.

 

The reality though is that the problem with most of the media on the right is they seem less anchored in reality and more prone to propagate that special kind of news; you know the type - and no it is not fake news - rather (add drumroll) it is that news based on alternative facts.

 

So, so Orwellian of the right. Seriously, did you know that the dystopian novel 1984 has been flying off the shelves since alternative facts combined with allegations of fake news hit folks in the tummy like a ten pound bag of newspeak.

 

Oh, well, for your edification:

It is widely published: This passage comes from the Israeli newspaper Haaretz.

Unlike most web publishers of his ilk, Jones can boast a distinction: he is in regular, personal contact with Donald Trump. "Trump and I have talked several times since the election — about freedom and our common goal to destroy our enemies," he told the German paper Der Spiegel.
InfoWars

Trump is the only U.S. president who (albeit before his election) appeared on Alex Jones’ online show, via video from Trump Tower in December 2015, and praised the notorious conspiracy theorist. "Your reputation is amazing. I will not let you down.” Jones takes credit for Trump calling the media the “true enemy” of the American people, saying he originally coined and introduced the term to Trump in 2015.

Jones has repeatedly claimed over the last 20 years that various attacks on the U.S. were staged by the U.S. government. The list of tragedies that Jones and Infowars have claimed were false-flag include: the 9/11 attacks, the Columbine school shooting, the Oklahoma City bombing, the Sandy Hook shooting, and the Boston Marathon bombing, among others.

Here is another article that details Trump's appearance on Jone's Infowars ... and some other notable interactions ranging from the Pizzagate meme and Obama's birther movement (Jones is a birther like Trump).

For years, Jones, through a radio show and his Infowars website, has been the king of conspiracy theory media, pushing a host of outlandish and ludicrous stories. He and his website have claimed that the Bush-Cheney administration was in on the 9/11 attacks and that the US government has covertly
orchestrated or faked a variety of violent episodes—Sandy Hook, the Columbine shootings, the Oklahoma City bombing, and the Boston Marathon attack—as part of an ongoing (and bipartisan!) plot to expand its power and enact gun safety laws. Infowars asserts that “chemtrail” emissions from aircraft are part of a clandestine scheme to poison humans or cause extreme weather. Jones says a secretive global elite has a clandestine plan to kill off or enslave most of the planet’s population. He has claimed the government is inserting chemicals into people—via juice boxes!—to make children gay. His conspiracy-peddling, while profitable for him, has caused pain and danger. Infowars promoted the ridiculous Pizzagate theory—that Hillary Clinton and other top Democrats were running a child sex ring in the basement of a certain Washington, DC, pizzeria—and a gunman showed up at the restaurant and fired off shots when customers, including children, were present. (Jones eventually and uncharacteristically apologized for his role in Pizzagate.)

Jones should be derided and dismissed as a bombastic sideshow scammer who makes a living selling fake news to the gullible. During a recent custody battle with his ex-wife, Jones’ own legal team referred to him as a “performance artist” who was “playing a character,” suggesting Jones didn’t believe the guff he was pitching. (A day later, Jones said this characterization was false and his lawyers had been misinterpreted by the media.) But what renders Jones a serious subject is that Trump has made common cause with him. That’s a connection worthy of much more media notice than it has garnered because of what it says about the judgment of the man who now lives in the White House.

During his presidential campaign, Trump forged a bond with Jones. In a way, that was inevitable. Trump first became a conservative darling by pressing the Obama-was-born-in-Kenya conspiracy theory. And throughout the campaign and afterward, he has shown a bent for conspiratorial and paranoid thinking. He hinted there was something odd about the death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. He suggested that terrorist attacks in the United States were not being stopped because President Barack Obama had ties with or affection for the evildoers. Trump maintained Ted Cruz’s dad was part of the JFK assassination conspiracy. (More recently, Trump tweeted that he had been wiretapped by Obama.)


Trump told Jones, “Your reputation is amazing. I will not let you down.”


As a candidate, Trump ran into the arms of Jones. In December 2015, he appeared on Jones’ talk show. That in and of itself was telling: a candidate from a major party venturing into this netherworld of paranoia and conspiracy. (Ron and Rand Paul were the only other prominent politicians in recent years to appear with Jones.) During the show, Jones praised Trump for being a modern-day George Washington who could save this nation before it collapses. He beseeched Trump to stay in the race and resist pressure from dark globalist forces opposed to his candidacy. Trump took the opportunity to brag that he had brilliantly foreseen the threat posed by Osama bin Laden years before anyone else. (Trump had not.) Jones cheered on the tycoon and said Trump’s campaign was “epic.” As the segment came to a close, Trump told Jones, “Your reputation is amazing. I will not let you down.”

That was a stunning moment. A candidate seeking the Republican Party’s presidential nomination was hailing a man who claimed the last Republican president was part of a cabal that staged 9/11 (or purposefully allowed it to happen).

That was not the only Trump-Jones link during the campaign. Roger Stone, a self-proclaimed dirty trickster, longtime Trump adviser, and JFK assassination conspiracy theorist (who wrote a book saying LBJ killed Kennedy), often appeared on Infowars to tout Trump. And Trump tried to bolster his claim that Mexico was sending killers and rapists into the United States with an Infowars video he had seen on the Drudge Report.
At the GOP convention in Cleveland in July, Jones was the featured speaker at a pro-Trump rally organized by Stone. (To be fair, I should note that at that rally, Jones picked me out of the crowd of reporters to denounce me as a representative of the “dinosaur” media.) And while in Cleveland, Jones attended the Republican proceedings as a “special guest.” (That’s what his credential said.) He and Stone also promoted “Hillary for Prison” T-shirts, which championed a message in sync with the “lock her up” chants inside the convention hall.

How deep Jones’ relationship with Trump goes is a vital question. Stone has claimed on Infowars that he set up Trump and Jones, the two “hit it off,” and Trump has “watched Infowars.” And during the campaign, Jones said he “personally talked to” Trump and encouraged him to claim the election was being rigged. On another occasion, Jones said Trump had told him that Jones had “one of the greatest influences I’ve ever seen…It’s greater than you know. Just know that your influence is second to none.” In a February 8, 2016, interview with Infowars, Trump senior policy adviser Stephen Miller hailed Jones and Infowars for having “been on top of…the immigration issue” and called on Jones’ audience to support Trump.

Media Matters, a liberal outfit, has pointed out that Trump has often aped Infowars material:

Trump has repeated Jones’ claims that President Obama and Hillary Clinton are the founders of ISIS; that Muslims were celebrating in New Jersey after the 9/11 attacks; and that the 2016 election would be “rigged” against him. Following his election, Trump also adopted the false claim promoted by Jones that “millions of people” “voted illegally” in the presidential election. Trump’s regular echoing of his rhetoric caused Jones to remark in August that it’s “surreal to talk about issues here on air and then word for word hear Trump say it two days later. It is amazing.”

Here was another example of a Trump-Jones mashup: At a rally in August, Trump said Clinton “took a little short-circuit in the brain—she’s got problems.” He added, “Honestly, I don’t think she’s all there.” A few days earlier Infowars had published a video, The Truth About Hillary’s Bizarre Behavior, that asked, “Is Hillary on the verge of a mental breakdown due to stress, or are her strange outbursts linked to a medical condition?” At other points, Trump campaign aides and Donald Trump Jr. tweeted out Infowars stories. The eldest Trump son spread an Infowars article claiming that Clinton had worn an earpiece during one of the presidential debates. Trump was undoubtedly the Infowars candidate.


Would you also deny that Trump and Roger Stone have a relationship?

Then I remember you deny there is any sort of relationship between Trump and Vladimir Putin ... so I guess since you deny that exists, it is rather futile to get you to acknowledge that Trump has any kind of questionable relationship with anyone beginning with Popadopolus and Manafort and ending with Michael Flynn and Felix Sater.

 

Here is the media matters' file on the Trump-Jones connection. I found the bit from Politico, where Trumps' handler's seek to calm the Donald down and feed him positive news they garner from places like infowars.com that provide uncritical, even glowing reviews of the President and the job he is doing.

 

Infowars and its sister site prisonplanet are propaganda outlets that Jones uses to promote his conspiracy theories and make money. He makes money by selling a vareity of merchandise on the site like prepper goods, vitamins and Erectile Deficiency drugs coupled with, of course gold and other conspiracy theories.

 

I'm truly amazed you have no knowledge of him. I'm perplexed, in fact, considering most of the conspiracy meme's running around - especially those that Trump promotes - had their origin with Jones. I mean he's really prolific in this respect.

He said, 'Listen, Alex, I just talked to the kings and queens of the world -- world leaders, you name it.' But, he said, 'It doesn’t matter, I wanted to talk to you to thank your audience, and I’ll be on in the next few weeks to thank them.'” Jones added that Trump said it wasn’t a “private call” and told him, “I want to thank your viewers, thank your listeners for standing up for this republic.

Politico: Trump Staffers Used Infowars “To Show Trump Positive Coverage.” Politico reported that six former campaign officials said the “key to keeping Trump’s Twitter habit under control” was “to ensure that his personal media consumption includes a steady stream of praise. And when no such praise was to be found, staff would turn to friendly outlets to drum some up — and make sure it made its way to Trump’s desk. … A former senior campaign official said [former communications director Sam] Nunberg and his successor, former communications director Jason Miller, were particularly skilled at using alternative media like Breitbart, Washington Examiner, Fox News, Infowars and the Daily Caller to show Trump positive coverage.” [Politico, 2/22/17]

Trump Adopted The “Hillary For Prison” Theme After Infowars Popularized It. Trump repeatedly suggested during the presidential campaign that Clinton should be locked up. Roger Stone told Jones during a May 4 appearance that “Trump himself told me that he has seen so many of your supporters and listeners at his rallies. He loves the ‘Hillary for Prison’ T-shirts and he knows exactly where they came from. So Alex, I’m certain that he is grateful for your support.” Stone also told author Jon Ronson that Trump praised Jones for the “Hillary for Prison” theme, according to Ronson’s book.

[Media Matters, 2/22/16]

Trump Cited Infowars Video About Alleged Mexican Drug Smuggling. During a July 2015 campaign event, Trump said he saw a “story in Drudge -- and big story, it’s all over the place now -- guys swimming across, and big bags of stuff, it’s drugs, swimming across the river.” Infowars wrote that Trump was referencing its work -- which was then picked up by Drudge -- writing: “Trump saw Infowars’ report last week which showed illegal aliens caught in the act of drug smuggling. … The footage, shot within minutes of [reporters Joe] Biggs and [Josh] Owens arriving at the border, served to further validate Trump’s earlier remarks regarding criminal illegal aliens coming in from Mexico.” Trump aide Dan Scavino Jr. also tweeted out a link to the Infowars video.

Trump Adviser Teamed Up With Infowars For Get-Out-The-Vote Pitch During Republican Primaries. In February 2016, Trump senior policy adviser Stephen Miller praised Jones and Infowars for having "been on top of ... the Trans-Pacific Partnership, and on the immigration issue." Miller then pitched Trump to Jones' audience, telling them that "if you want to stop the Trans-Pacific Partnership, if you want to close the border, if you want to protect American jobs and wages, then you have to support Donald J. Trump." Responding to a question about whether anti-Trump Republicans might try to block Trump's nomination at the convention, Miller added, “The easiest thing to do if we want to have Donald J. Trump be our nominee is to show up and vote tomorrow in New Hampshire and then to vote in South Carolina and all across this country." [Media Matters, 2/10/16]

You really need to expand your horizon past all those Right Wing propaganda sites you get your news from. Trump's bromance with Alex Jones has been commonly known since before the election.

You do realize...at least you should...that everybody knows everybody in politics.

 

If you search the web long enough, you can associate virtually anyone with anyone.

 

But to your limited intellect, this is a smoking gun.
