So what's a true news site? Would Ron Paul think it's InfoWars and it's head Alex Jones? After all, Alex has interviewed Ron Paul a bunch of times.

Some of those names I never heard before. The rest on the list don't surprise me one bit.

The difference between CNN and Alex Jones for example, is that Alex Jones doesn't have someone higher up than him telling him what to say, with the 'daily news' and 'cnn' they have 'bosses' who tell these hacks what to write, jones and other independent journalists are giving you THEIR opinion, its not the opinion of their bosses. Jones has credibility due to the information, if he was posting 'fake' news, no way he would be as popular, smart people know how to weed out lies.

Ron Paul is okay, but Alex Jones is a nut job and pushes all sorts of conspiracy crap. He makes all sorts of assumptions backed by nothing but his gut. A friend of mine is a big Jones fan and made me watch this documentary a few years ago that Jones was pushing and it was absolutely bonkers. I'm trying to remember the name of it. Alex Jones isn't a journalist and doesn't cover a lot of news. He covers conspiracies and links things with no evidence. But then again, a lot of so called journalists do that too. Haha

It's like they haven't even taken English 101 at a community college to understand the concept of verifiable sources, or something...

People who make things up are never very popular? Who told you that?
