RE: Project Mockingbird: The Song of Alex Jones

in #informationwar6 years ago

I did add this to @newsagg headlines, and I did up vote it. I do not necessarily agree with your findings, but that is totally okay. People should always ask questions.

I've watched Alex Jones for a long time and I've seen him do and say things that I disliked a lot. I do think if not for Infowars and what he has done the world would be a lot worse off than it currently is.

I did look into some of this like six months ago and I didn't find it to be particularly convincing. Though I did consider it could be true. So I asked myself "What if it is true?" and ultimately I came to the same conclusion I usually do.

I don't TRUST any source without question. Including myself. I challenge my own thoughts. So I will listen and study anyone and any source and use my OWN mind rather than treating any of them like an authority. I don't care much for appeal to authority fallacies, appeal to tradition, appeal to popularity, appeal to emotion, red herrings, appeal to the stone, etc.

I have learned a lot of things to research over the years because of Infowars. I also disagree with a lot of Alex Jone's opinions.

Though I am glad he speaks up and has opinions.

If you ask me if I would trust him or the legacy media more it would be him hands down, no challenge.

Yet I still use my own mind. That is partially why I created @newsagg and the headlines and I look at things from every perspective I can find. I call it trying to triangulate upon truth.

It's an experiment. I do have my own biases. We all do. Yet I will listen to people, but typically I won't listen to them if they are not providing anything new for me to consider. I am not saying that is what you are doing, but there are some sources that are so fixated on Trump hate that they are still talking about many things that are no longer relevant, because they simply cannot let go and move on. I still give them the chance to say something new, but that doesn't happen very often.
