Published on Apr 30, 2013
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.

Roger Nicholson, the man behind the camera in this viral video hurling a series of angry expletives at an InfoWars camera man who claims to have the images which prove the FBI orchestrated the April 15 attack on the Boston Marathon, joined Bashir on Friday to continue his anti-InfoWars crusade.
Nicholson told Bashir that he was frustrated by the reporter who had been "hijacking" a series of press conferences held by law enforcement in the wake of the Boston attacks.
"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."
Bashir asked if there was anything that Nicholson would like to say to Alex Jones. Nicholson said Jones was the equivalent of the "David Koresh of broadcasting," referring to the leader of the Branch Dividian cult.

(111,222 posts)and I'm proud to claim it. Bostonians are used to dealing with Harvard and MIT alumni every day out in the world and it's raised the level of the repartee in that town considerably.
Nobody can cuss out a complete idiot like a Bostonian. Of course, they send most of them scurrying for dictionaries, but that's part of the fun, knowing they won't get the most scathing part of the insult until they do look up them big words.

(53,661 posts)Theyve got small drones. And theyve got million-dollar systems up there flying around with cops in control of them, surveilling you. And now theyre mounting them with ground-penetrating radar that looks right through your wall, while youre on the toilet, having sex with your wife.

It simply boggles the mind. Since I can't visualize what kind of sex that is, I'm being spared that image...

(297,029 posts)older..doesn't look anything like I imagined. Good ol' Martin Bashir having him on.. you could tell Bashir doesn't care for the Westboro school of journalism, either.
Dear Boston, she

(297,029 posts)I saw this earlier today and was very gratified that Martin gave it continued exposure on his show.
Alex Jones needs to be held accountable and Roger did that in his own inimitable way.

(53,661 posts)I love how he expresses what is important like Will Pitt has on this matter. It's hard to speak against the media meme. The progressive side has lost its voice in mainstream media, overwelmed by big money.
But we do have something to say, and he said it well, like WP did. We need to express our vision for freedom and liberty and save our country from getting dumbed down by the Becks, Jones, Rushers and Foxheads.
