Information Warfare Getting Ugly

It's getting ugly. After the election, we saw the slandering of those in alternative media such as Alex Jones, Michael Savage, and even Mark Dice. We see issues such as the Syria chemical attack being confirmed by mainstream news, with no investigation, while alternative media reports on it possibly being a "false flag." This along with the New York Times saying that those who are against invading Syria hold "white nationalist views." Left wing clown Stephen Colbert made three hit pieces on Alex Jones, and CNN is now saying that Jones is an "actor" who doesn't believe what he says, and they are trying to discredit him as a liar. We've even heard that Bannon told Breitbart to stop making negative stories about Jared Kushner. Are we heading for bust? If not, what's the endgame? Forums like ATS keep the free exchange of ideas going as we share information not normally covered by mainstream news, but how else do we win this war?

I'm sure that some in this forum do not like Alex Jones, whatever. He exposed the Bohemian Grove, has covered Bilderberg, and has covered many topics that people like us hold dear, and I believe that though he is eccentric, I think that the fact that so many people bash him says more about them than it does about him.

Here are some articles and videos showing what I'm pointing out.
Video: Colbert on Alex Jones
Video 2: Colbert on Alex Jones
CNN: Jones is an actor
Video 3: Colbert on Alex Jones
Breitbart told to stop writing negative Kushner stories

Maybe Fox's Bill O'Reilly's departure was instrumented? Not that he is not a pompous cad but because he seriously was extremely good at his reporting.

You're absolutely right. If this issue was really about sexual assault, Bill O'Reilly would have been fired years ago. All of these stories decided to come out now, this seems like it could have been a smear campaign.

His passion is skewed as unprofessional lunacy by his critics.
But who are his critics?

Are the tactics used on O'Reilly not the same used on Trump before the Russian connection became the main weapon?

50 per cent of Maddows show is now nutcase Russian conspiracy the lunatic left always seems to get a pass.

Imagine if he wasn't.

Hilarious.

I know you won't take the time to watch it, but here's Alex Jones in all of his glory.

Linky

No idea why people praise/idolize the man, he's a nut.

As opposed to all of the politicians in DC, mainstream news, scientists, mathematicians, who are all of rational thought but who make incorrect predictions? What about when Al Gore said we'd be underwater by 2016. What about incorrect sports predictions. Unless you hold everyone to this same divine standard, you are being disingenuous when you assign blame. There are plenty of things he covers that Jones has gotten right and that he has portrayed factually. Many of these predictions in that video you posted have yet to even happen. Check your evidence before you post it.

"Information Warfare Getting Ugly"

Yup.

Because people apparently have the inability to see a story, research it, let it roll around in their heads, and come to their own conclusions.

These people only exist to put fourth their spin on the news, and fill up lazy people with their "facts".

it's never been anything else.

Rage = Ratings = Money

The use of disinformation has been around since Marconi invented the radio. The US has countered it as early as WW1 when Cherokee Code Talkers where employed for signal security. Then against the Japanese in WW2 to great success.

There is even with TV sales. My most favorite one is the offer to "buy one and one for free just pay an additional fees." Then buy something for $4.95 and $35 shipping and handling. This is absolute bullsh!t.

The news media has used false narratives to bolster their ratings and advance their political goals. They used fake polls to move their viewers to vote for a favored candidate.

Car sales is another group who use deceptive signal information (DSI) to get you interest in buying cars. They use an average looking guy driving one their cars with beautiful young bikini clad girls in their tv ads. They are selling an unrealistic image to sell cars.

Its about his advertisers were abandoning him.

If there is a connection between that and the elite deep state then you have a case.

Find that connection. It may be in the fact that the NYT exposed him
