Granderson: Alex Jones is no kind of 'theorist' (via latimesopinion)
People like Jones are only interested in getting an audience to believe them. Tucker Carlson immediately comes to mind, but there are others, such as the former president. During the Jan. 6 hearings, witness after witness testified that Donald Trump knew the 2020 election wasn’t stolen. But he kept repeating the lie because it was good for the business of Trump. And he kept doing this even after his supporters began threatening poll workers.
Even sorting out the murky finances will still be faster than fleshing out the cultural impact. Will Americans be any less likely to believe nonsense like Jones spouted? More recent events ought to keep us alert for conspiracies as well. Watergate. Falsified police reports and affidavits to justify questionable shootings. Members of Congress doing unusually well in the stock market. Well, it’s clear why distrust of the government exists.
