I don't follow him or his site but he's saying "show us the evidence". There just not only isn't any...but the bizarre behavior of the "supporting cast" lends itself easily to the theory that something is not right at all about the official story.

Why is it ironic? Being conservative basically implies a high degree of skepticism. Its the people that haven't really devoted themselves to a rigorous outlook of objective analysis that tend to be overly credulous.
That is why they are so easily swayed by emotion and duped by propaganda.

Nearly every major American fundamentalist religious sect aligns conservative. Im a bit surprised you were able to type that with a straight face.

What you got is the same thing the other guys got: SELECTIVE skepticism.

You are skeptical about the stuff you don't want to believe. That's the easy part.

Chobani is a socially irresponsible company whose employment practices harm American citizens, and they should not be allowed to continue these practices.

People should not patronize Chobani by purchasing or consuming any of their products until they have reformed their harmful practices and are no longer engaging in activities that harm Americans.
Sez the guy who thinks nuking Washington would be helpful to the country...

Wrong. Snake oil is relatively harmless. Jones is selling venom, and his groupies are sucking it up like candy.

The corporate media and its subscribers hate Alex Jones because they see him as a conduit through which to rationalize and channel their Post-Trump Stress Disorder. He's an easy target to pick on because of his rhetorical style.

It's pretty obvious to me who I consider to be more exploitative and dangerous to the general public.

1. A conspiracy theory pundit who makes aggressive inductions and speculations that sometimes turn out to be mistaken or insensitive.

2. A multi-billion dollar politico-media complex that lies brazenly to its subscribers, stage-manages crime scenes to engineer social agendas, is stupid enough to believe its own rigged polls, and for which we have verifiable evidence of corruption and collusion.
