The Boston man behind a viral video featuring him berating a reporter for Alex Jones‘ conspiracy theory website InfoWars appears on MSNBC with Martin Bashir on Tuesday where he clarified and expanded on his animus towards the website and its employees. The Boston-based video maker said that InfoWars had become the “Westboro Baptist Church of journalism,” suggesting the site exists to be provocative and to agitate Americans already grieving in the wake of tragic events.

(...)

“I had a dear friend of mine who was at the Marathon when the bomb went off,” Nicholson said. “I was very affected by her – what she had experienced.”

“I just felt very angry that InfoWars came to my town to start making show material,” he added.

“To me, the InfoWars – whatever that show is – has become the Westboro Baptist Church of Journalism,” Nicholson declared. “I think these people are un-American, and unpatriotic, and they’re hysterics.”

I think his analogy nails it and is the perfect description of what Jones does.

1. Jones is nowhere NEAR a "journalist."

Jones is a con artist, a scammer.
He spews his drivel to pander to the nutcases, and the money rolls in.

8. Heard that "live"

on Bashir. I was in the car and lol when he said it. Perfect.

10. Correct answer!

11. I'd say that Infowars should be shut down since

the bombers were influenced by the site. That means Alex Jones is inciting violence against the U.S. because of all his nutty crap.

12. That would just strengthen Jone's arguement that

the gov. is out to get him. And honestly, i don't imagine it's his fault these peckerwoods did what they did.
