I’m watching CNN along with RT and the rest of these feeds, trying to do the big war live thread.
But that doesn’t mean the rest of this page doesn’t need to be filled.
It always needs to be filled.
But it’s going to be filler, filler.
Really just total garbage filler.
Anyway, watching CNN – they keep advertising a documentary they are airing about Alex Jones.
What do you think Alex Jones believes? CNN explores his history with conspiracy theories and more. This new CNN Special Report – Megaphone for Conspiracy airs Sunday at 9 p.m. ET pic.twitter.com/klhQOXh70Y

There is a lot to say about this, but I’m not going to say it all right now. I will watch the documentary.
But the idea that Alex Jones is a disinformation factory is absolutely ridiculous. At least 80% of what Alex Jones says is true, and it is insane that CNN, which just literally lies about everything, would paint Alex as disinformation.
Aside from a few of the dumber conspiracy theories he embraces, most of the “disinfo” Alex spreads is stuff that actually lines up with CNN disinfo – in particular, the idea that China is a big threat. It’s almost a meme at this point that he blames China for things done by Jews. Basically, he’s using “China” as a euphemism for “Jews.” I almost think there’s a wink-wink element to it.
Also, he agrees with CNN that the coronavirus exists and was released by the Chinese as a bioweapon (that is now pretty much the official line of CNN and the rest of the media).
He also exaggerates a bit, and makes hard predictions that turn out to be wrong.
I watch Alex at least twice a week, and I obviously fact-check anything I hear from him, and it is always based on something. He doesn’t have long-running hoaxes like CNN did with Russian collusion and the coronavirus pandemic hoax.
Tucker Carlson recently pointed out: “What do you think Alex Jones would ask if given an interview with Anthony Fauci? Would he ask better questions than Anderson Cooper, or no?”
Anyway, the bigger issue here is: what exactly are they trying to do with this documentary? Nick Fuentes recently pointed out that he doesn’t really understand what the SPLC and Jared Holt (or Louis Theroux) are doing by whining about him, since he’s already kicked off of everything. The whole point of “point and gawk” was to get people banned from things.
It’s possible that they could be trying to either get Alex at my level of censorship (i.e., not allowed to own a real domain or use Cloudflare), and/or trying to get him thrown in prison as some kind of enemy of the state.
After the Theroux documentary on Nick and AF was effectively a promotional film, shitlibs on Twitter are fearing this will be the same.
Why is CNN entertaining a spot on Alex Jones?
This could backfire by way of normalizing Jones's crackpot ideas and grow his platform. pic.twitter.com/gCJg8SU1GI

WTF @CNN?!
Alex Jones; traitor & conspiracy theorist extraordinaire – getting even a SECOND of airtime for anything other than to discuss any misery that sooo deservedly befalls him – is an EXTREME (pun intended) waste of airtime!#CancelAlexJones, or count me OUT permanently! pic.twitter.com/b8QGZeDdP5— Grandmamá Stace ☮🇺🇸🏳️🌈🍫🌎🐾🐝🎶🦄 (@MamaStaceC) February 23, 2022
But I don’t think so.
I think there’s a goal.
CNN is a lot more surgical in their attacks (they are effectively run by the ADL) than the BBC – and Theroux had full creative control, something that no one on CNN has.
