The nature of journalism is to report the facts as known and issue corrections if warranted.

Infowars does neither.

And of course you can prove this with evidence, right? Well, get to providing it.And not one story , or two, but proof that they lie in almost every story they tell, which is your assertion.

All the media lies , with the worst being the right wing side. Alex Jones seems to lie just for the fun of lying to see if he can fool some ignorant reader or viewer into accepting it as truth , as if he is running a never ending April Fools prank on his viewers. Breitbart lies for a purpose at least , to further their alt right agenda. FOX seems more like it is run by Sean
Spicer than anything else , not necessarily telling outright lies all the time but just deliberately shading everything to fit its worldview. CNN lies some , as does all of them. I really dont know of any news site I would accept at face value regarding stories with political or ideological issues, which is why I read from a number of different sites , including FOX and Drudge, along with Reuters and BBC , if some story that is of importance to me comes up. I also usually come here knowing I will get info from every angle on the story.

But CNN lying all the time? Prove it. The sites you seem to believe in have a much worse track record. Leaving CNN because it lies , to depend on Infowars or Breitbart for accurate info is like wanting to see ISIS installed as the new Turkish government becaue you dont trust the guy Erdogan and his recent power play to run the government. Its just stupid.

No, the nature of liberal journalism is to throw crap out there see what sticks. No checking sources, using made up sources and when those corrections are done (or even if they are done) the damage is already out there.

Many other news sources pick up like CNN and others, so if the story is wrong it's going everywhere. You think all those other new sources are going to make changes if CNN does?

I think Jones gets his 'news' from boxes of CrackerJack.

Kind of a schizoid statement, InfoWars isn't "liberal jouranlism" but you've described its methodology very well.

Well if he's more accurate than CNN, what does that say about CNN?

LOL. Jones lies so much and so often that his lawyer had to start defending him in lawsuits by claiming he was really just playing a character in his show. He has had to issues apologies more than once for lying on his show, likely as part of a settlement in various lawsuits.

Right more than CNN? LMAO!

The only people who consider the liberal propaganda like CNN, NBC, etc. are real news are either crazy, stupid or completely dishonest!
