Whether you agree with Alex Jones or not, wouldn't it be a textbook strategy to feed someone a few completely false leads if they're constantly talking about powerful people?
If someone was genuinely seen as a threat, you'd imagine they'd have multiple people around them knowingly or unknowingly shaping what information reaches them. Feed them enough bad intel, and eventually they'll make a massive claim that's completely wrong. After that, the public stops taking anything they say seriously.
The Sandy Hook claims always made me wonder about that possibility. It seems like an effective way to discredit a controversial figure.
Curious what people think?

Surely it would still be on him to verify these “leads” as best as possible. The fact that he didn’t means that he’s a hack whether he was fed misinformation or not.
He destroyed the last shreds of his own credibility when he got in bed with the men of the epstein files.
They can only do that if Alex was a disingenuous liar who only liked the sound of his voice and money. So yes, they probably do.
No one has secrets for you lmao. They just want your money. On the air for decades and has been saying literally the same shit over and over then people act like he’s a prophet when one real life event vaguely resembles his fantasies.

Agree…
I mean it’s possible, but still is sort of giving him enough rope to hang himself. He supposedly considers himself a journalist, but as a journalist you can’t really just carelessly say shit without fact checking and cross checking your sources. If it was a fake story fed to him it’s still very much his fault
These guys are doing this job of destroying their credibility just fine without any help. Look at Nick Shirley recently being called out about not investigating right wing fraud and stuttering and mumbling eventually landing on “I’m not a cop” as being reason why he doesn’t. These guys all sold out, some of them probably got into the business with intention TO sell out.
Yes this is exactly the strategy used for many different performers for many different reasons.
But Alex Jones does it all so that the left doesn’t start watching his show.
He doesn’t want them getting the plans from the horses mouth.
Alex Jones considers himself the tip of the spear. A military term for the first contact with the enemy. It keeps the enemy *away*.
They do this to discredit themselves so they can’t get sued because they say they are actually parody or satire.
Alex Jones is there to deceive conspiracy theorists in half truths and to discredit conspiracy theorists. First Alex makes some ridiculous claims and then the news runs with it and claims that all conspiracy theorists belief this and thus they must be dumb
its been a salted honeypot from the start. Which means that, a lot of things said on such pages are actually accurate, but we cant know which ones.
Don’t trust anyone selling “health supplements” while yelling.
He ruined his own credibility. There was no way I could ever trust him from watching one of his shows. His red in the face yelling doesn’t help any of his arguments.
AJ pushing left / right politics and sucking Trumps farts has been much more of a detriment to his credibility than the Sandy Hook claims.
he destroyed his own credibility by chasing money and pretending he wasn’t.
Or you wanted to destroy the idea of credibility or the thought that there can be a determinable truth
He was just a guy schilling worthless vitamins.
Humiliation ritual.
lol JFC.
