5Infowars is about as biased as a news source gets. – Sam I am says Reinstate Monica Dec 26 '15 at 21:38

4In a word, no. Alex Jones is America's leading conspiracy theorist, according to New York Magazine. – Kennah Dec 27 '15 at 01:33

2@SirJective, your comment rather belongs to the question body. Consider editing the question to explain your rationale in more details (except the rude words, of course :). – Be Brave Be Like Ukraine Dec 27 '15 at 12:21

@bytebuster just finished editing the post. If we could make this a list of debunked alex jones theories it might serve as a great reference for people who need convincing. – AnotherPerson Dec 29 '15 at 01:17

1@SirJective there are already plenty of sites out there for debunking alex jones. Also, anyone that believes alex jones will invariably believe anything attempting to debunk him is also a conspiracy. – Dec 29 '15 at 04:10

@SirJective - Debunking Alex Jones' claims in general is off topic here. It'd be appropriate (on a per-claim basis) on [Skeptics.SE], which is all about doing that. Specific political-based claims would be on topic either here or there. But nothing on the whole Stack Exchange network would be appropriate for general debunking. – Bobson Dec 31 '15 at 21:25

Infowars could be considered a weird niche of entertainment but not news. – tnk479 Sep 06 '17 at 19:01

If they said it on television, it must be true – Alexei Sep 08 '17 at 04:38

Infowars is much less credible than Fox News or CNN. – Michael Rosen Sep 09 '17 at 09:51

11THAT! If he was an unbiased credible source, he'd accuse Coca-Cola too! – user4012 Dec 27 '15 at 13:58

4@user4012 pshaw. Everyone knows Coca-Cola uses agent orange for their flavoring! – Dec 27 '15 at 20:21

9@blip - Coca-Cola uses adult fetuses, as opposed to the baby fetuses that Pepsi uses. – PoloHoleSet Sep 06 '17 at 19:10
