Bias In Media

[pr26]

You think he's never gotten anything right?

I think he's a snake oil salesmen of the worst kind, and he's not harmless. I hear his half-assed conspiracy talk daily among co-workers and online. Dude is getting HIGH ratings peddling straight up lies to people pre-disposed to a conspiratorial mindset, and he's making BANK on it.

Honestly, I have no respect for anyone with intelligence who tries to legitimize Alex Jones or defend him.

But hey, maybe if his viewers buy enough nutrisuiticals, he will finally win the culture war!!!!!

Nothing you said is wrong. But to say hes never right would be.

Why even bother defending a guy if your argument is pretty much, "Well, I'm sure he's been right about SOMETHING in his life before"?

Because the argument was that hes literally never been right. Which is preposterous. So if something that absurd is suggested, its imperative and really easy for me to prove wrong.

And to the bigger point that keeps needing to be made, it shows you the content is to be judged on tge content, not the person wtiting it.

The most ridiculous story the most ridiculous person ever made turned out to be true. Corporations have been polluting with a chemical agent that are turning frogs gay. It actually didnt go far enough, theyre literally changing theit sex.

So ill ask you: Why do i get the criticism when something that absurd and egregious is written?

I don't get the reason for arguing back and forth about something as trivial as "well that person was right about SOMETHING in his life before." I agree - whoever said he's never once been right about anything at all - they're wrong. I also believe you're doing nothing more than wasting your time (if I were purely venting or in a bad mood I'd call you stupid - but I know that's not at all true) if you care to defend someone like Jones at all, especially if your argument is what I've already quoted twice.

This is another conflation equivalent to freedom of speech = defense of nazis. Ive just explained the big picture and i tied it back into it explicitly. Can you tell me what the my point was?

I just got home from a long day of work, heard about the Kyrie news, and am zooming through posts catching up on RCF and some other sites. I honestly don't even know what you guys were originally talking about. It just bugged the shit out of me that people would go back and forth over something so stupid. And frankly, I don't give a shit about anything Alex Jones has to say. Congratulations to him for probably saying the sky is blue before.

This idea that Breitbart is a conservative news outlet should honestly offend actual conservatives.

And I would like someone to point out something that Alex Jones was right on. Not something he said he was right about. Someone give me an actual link to Alex Jones saying some shit that proved to be true and was based in actual facts and research.

You can't just say, "I'm sure he's been right about something," when that person has also claimed, without any evidence whatsoever, that Sandy Hook didn't happen and those grieving parents are actors. There are some things that should immediately disqualify you from being taken seriously. That's one.

You want a link to a radio show?

..enjoy. Somewhere in those 4 hours they go over alot of things he got right including the previously mentioned frog conspiracy.

Being wrong about 1 thing, even egregiously.. Hardly means youre wrong about everything youve ever said. It really isn't difficult to think these things through. I genuinely cant believe some people are serious here.

He was on Howard Stern a couple years ago.

Interesting interview.

Whether or not he has or hasn't; that isn't what "poisoning the well" is actually about, right? The fallacy relates to irrelevant information used to discredit a person's logical argument; in this instance, we're talking about relevant information used to assess credibility.

Essentially, the way Ty is trying to use the term, it would essentially logically entail that the concept of credibility doesn't exist; that all sources are equal, and regardless of the degree and quantity of lies told, trust should always be neutral across the board.

I actually watched like an hour of this video, because I find it fascinating how much Jones has changed over the past 17 years. But, as I watch this video, I think it makes my point...

How much of Alex Jones do you listen to before you tune him out? It's The Boy Who Cried Wolf.. eventually you just stop listening...

p.s.
Dave, Jones has been right about a few things in the past, so, I do understand that's what you're getting at.

That wasn't the argument, by the way.

The argument was whether Alex Jones ever has anything worthwhile to say.

And the answer, to this point, has been no.

But great job combating an argument nobody made.

 

[-Akronite-]

Alex Jones IS more poison than well, there's really no argument in his favor. Anyone doing so is wasting their time and embarrassing themselves along.

Defending Alex Jones does not save his credibility, it only sinks yours.

Alex Jones is a bear.
