A1: The preponderance of reliable sources describes him as this. "The case of Mr. Jones and Infowars is tricky for many politicians and figures on the right. While many dislike the idea of tech companies censoring political speech, and Infowars leans far right, Mr. Jones regularly spreads lies, conspiracy theories and inflammatory attacks against political enemies." ----The New York Times "Kaiser, the Harvard researcher, said that Jones was a far-right 'beacon' -- a sort of gateway who could bring conservatives looking for right-wing media into the extreme fringes via YouTube's recommendations." --CNBC "Twitter banned far-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones and his website InfoWars from its platform Thursday afternoon" --CNN "Twitter announced Thursday that it had banned the accounts of conspiracy theorist Alex Jones and his far-right media company Infowars" --NBC News "Facebook today removed 22 pages associated with far-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones" --The Verge

Let's review, shall we?

Let's review for our newly-arrived Infowars/Newswars/Prison Planet minions, shall we? Alex Jones claims that the US government kidnaps children and makes them slaves at our martian colony, that kids are only pretending to get shot at school and their parents are only pretending to grieve, that Michelle Obama is really a man, that Carrie Fisher of Star Wars fame was killed to boost DVD sales, that the coming New World Order is a demonic high-tech tyranny formed by satanist elites who are using selective breeding to create a supreme race, that tap water is turning frogs gay, that Coronavirus is a hoax, that 5G networks create Coronavirus within human cells (no explanation about the conflict between those last two), that Temple of Baal arches will be erected in multiple cities around the world Real Soon Now, that the Democratic party runs a pedophile ring through pizza shops, that the US government commits acts of terrorism against its own citizens, that Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are literally demons from hell, that the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami were a government plot, that Obama wanted to detonate a nuclear bomb in Charleston, South Carolina, that FEMA runs concentration camps, that the US is being invaded by South American walruses... Sounds legit to me! --Guy Macon (talk) 12:46, 21 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comments / questions

• Q: Why is this here?

A: It is here because new editors repeatedly come to this page claiming that Jones is telling the "truth". It is here to save editor time. Without it, we would have to repeat this every time someone comes here and says we are all lying about Jones. Which happens a lot. -Guy Macon (talk) 06:43, 25 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Q: Isn't Jones just an actor playing a role without actually believing all of that?

A: It doesn't matter. Millions of people read his webpage, some believe it, and a tiny percentage go to Wikipedia to set us straight. --Guy Macon (talk) 12:46, 21 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Q: Why doesn't this page cover the bit about gay frogs?

A: We only cover those things Alex Jones says that have significant coverage in reliable sources. --Guy Macon (talk) 12:46, 21 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Which has significant, reliable sources. More like youre cherry picking data to form a narrative. 86.27.243.15 (talk) 09:05, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

OK, so find some significant, reliable sources that cover this story. Slatersteven (talk) 11:03, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Q: OK, all that other stuff is just silly, but the bit about South American walruses is real!

A: No it isn't. --Guy Macon (talk) 12:46, 21 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

But the gay frogs is pretty funny, you have to admit. Guy (help! - typo?) 20:55, 10 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Here it is for anyone who has not experienced this special moment: [ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tVrntKgdN0 ]

It's like a turd sandwich with Wikipedia's Gay bomb page at the start, The Daily Mail[1] at the end, and Infowars in the middle! --Guy Macon (talk) 21:24, 10 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@JzG and Guy Macon: On the subject of YouTube, we have a small bit about John Oliver's take on him with regard to his product shilling on-air, we do have some secondary sources, but would we want to have the primary source as well? [2] —Locke Cole • t • c 16:17, 6 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It's not possible to argue that the article is written from a neutral point of view. IndySteve (talk) 09:02, 19 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

We go by what RS say. Slatersteven (talk) 11:03, 19 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to request the removal of the word far right to right wing it’s a word means he is a Nazi which he is not, this will promote dangerous ideals that anyone remotely right wing is a Nazi which they are not. And Wikipedia is meant to be neutral on politics.~2025-38749-93 (talk) 18:54, 5 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

See the FAQ at near the top of this page. O3000, Ret. (talk) 19:02, 5 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This reads like you think Jones is a Nazi, but don't want WP to let people know of it. Perhaps, in the future, you should think through what you intend to request before requesting it. In the process of thinking it through, you might even notice that, as O3k just pointed out, there is an FAQ right at the top of this page. ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPants Tell me all about it. 19:32, 5 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I do not think he is a Nazi ~2025-38749-93 (talk) 23:29, 5 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
