I repeat. He is not a journalist. What are his credentials
What credentials are required? He owns and operates a news media organization. He has a respectably long list of contributors and correspondents. Jones, Watson, Weaver, Salazar, McAdoo, White, etc. They all make their contribution to InfoWars. The report the news as they see it just as CNN reports the news as they see it.
All of that more than qualifies Alex Jones be called a journalist. Journalism refers to the production and distribution of reports on recent events. The word journalism applies to the occupation, using methods of gathering information and utilizing literary techniques. Journalistic media include print, television, radio, Internet, and, in the past, newsreels.
There is no bar exam you have to pass in order to become a journalist. If you report current events, congratulations, you are by every definition known to man a bonafide journalist. From there, it's a game of viewership. In spite of the fact that I don't really care for the guy, Alex Jones has a pretty massive viewership. Several million in viewership to be precise.
And once again, "Because I said so" isn't an argument. You're making the claim that he isn't a journalist. Prove it.
A. InfoWars actually is a news gathering organization. They have on the ground reporting. They have news shows and articles. They are in the same business as CNN and are in fact their much smaller competitor.
B. "He works for CNN" is a very elitist point of view to take. Apparently journalists are like an exclusive club of Lords and Ladies -- noble born with better blood and breeding, which makes them better people than all the human trash and filthy peasants out there. Same kind of thinking, updated for the modern age.
C. I don't see why a journalist has to belong to any organization. Why is that a requirement? Exhibit A: Tim Pool. Better journalist than the vast majority of people claiming to be journalists, but he does his thing solo.
Now in full disclosure, I wouldn't count either InfoWars nor CNN as a completely credible news source. I fully expect both of them to lie to me every single day, so I don't actually watch either one very much. But if one lying, propagandist, politically biased, conspiracy theory centric organization -- CNN -- gets to call themselves "real news media" and "journalists" then that's setting the bar pretty low. InfoWars can make the cut easily.
Why do you keep going back to the whole "he's not a journalist because I say he's not" schtick? Now you've added, "You're just too stupid to know what you're talking about, so your opinion is irrelevant." Very elitist of you ... again. Gotta say, not a good look.
Wake me up when CNN runs stories about gay frogs and fish people and denies Sandy Hook ever happened.
Sounds just like Acosta and CNN. Acosta is a grandstanding hack, not in any way a journalist. They have absolutely no relationship with the truth, but clearly have a deep and binding, incestuous relationship with the DNC and their political agenda.
LMAO ... That is truly delusional.
