You people who don't realize the difference between CNN and InfoWars need to get your heads out of your butt. I'm not defending CNN for anything, but to compare them to that wacko web site is just plain stupid. Put it this way. What if Obama or one f his supporters had said Fox News should not have creds for the White House. You people would have gone ape shoot on them!

They are nice to Trump and Trump does like his conspiracy stories as long as they aren't about him.

Why wouldn't the WH give InfoWars press credentials. Alex Jones and D. Trump are both showmen who enjoy ruining peoples reputations for sport; both are conmen at heart; both love Russian style politics; and, both are nut case conspiracy theorists. But above all, they both disdain real news and want to discredit the press for profit or ambition. Two peas in the same some soiled pod.

As ridiculous as it is to allow Infowars? They also allowed CNN

Well. Didn't Alex Jones say he was playing a character on his show?

So if his channel can get credentials then last week tonight and the daily show should get some creds too. It's only fair.

OMG. Alex Jones is a nutjob and everyone knows it! His wife even knows it - which is why Alex later had to admit that he's 'just acting".


Jeebus.

No intelligent person can act like allowing CNN is the same thing as allowing InfoWars. CNN is obviously flawed; they basically just pander to what's exciting. We all know this. But even if there's not enough at this point to convict Trump of any wrong doing in this Russia controversy, and there may never be, that's at least possible. InfoWars ran the story that suggests that Sandy Hook was staged and the Hillary Clinton ran a secret child sex trafficking ring from a pizza joint.

They are not the same. Not even slightly.

Jeebus.
He lost custody of his kids. That won't stop the right from singing Jones' praises apparently.
