More hack journalism, they don’t even mention the actual title until the very end of the article. I’m pissed I even clicked on that garbage.
Hey, this is Alex Jones, nuance and honestly aren’t allowed /s
You make a good point, but I still think that this is more stochastic terrorism from the right. They’re putting the notion of assassinating the president out there into the weak minds of their listeners, who will take that information and do with it what they will. It’s so indirect that Jones and co have plausible deniability.
Note how they don’t ask if the derp state will assassinate Trump, even though he’s supposed to be its enemy.
While I don’t think you’re wrong, AJ has been talking about the president being assassinated for more than a decade. He was sure Trump was going to be assassinated almost constantly during his administration (poisoned cokes and hamberders were popular options).
People should stop giving that coked out drunkard any publicity, that’s literally all he wants. Well, that and to sell you all kinds of

If you’re always giving people who don’t play fair, the benefits of the doubt, you’re going to end up with fascism.

Yes you are, you’re pretending the title doesn’t contain the words “assassinate Biden”, when it clearly does. Now you’re pretending this was ever about truth and lies, when it never was.
It’s about perception, conveying the quite accurate perception that Alex Jones aids a politically unhinged and destabilizing political atmosphere.
He should be painted as such, instead you’re out here pretending like he’s a good honest man, that is being lied about.
You’re lending your honesty and labour, to a side of politics unworthy of the honour.
You have fallen into the trap of telling the Nazis there are Jews in the basement, thinking it will prove that you’re a good person, when it in fact just makes you culpable for the success of fascists.
