Sadly i don't have time to view the video right now, though i will ask this...
This is definitely the biggest Alex Jones debunking video I've ever seen.
Since when is alex jones something to debunk? He airs a radio show.... its a voiced opinion on the world from one mans view. Of course things may be "untrue" but its more or less him making sense of what "doesn't make sense".
Its not really something to debunk, sounds like whoever made this "debunking video" has too much time on their hands and/or is trying too hard.
You can't debunk personal opinion...

And do you have any proof of this supposed CNN endorsement?

That's odd, last I checked AJ gave away his videos and stuff for free. He also doesn't charge anyone to watch his youtube videos or check his websites or listen to his radio show...
You should check again because Alex does indeed charge for his videos. Where did you get the idea he sends them out for free?
You ever been to google or the youtube? His videos are all available for free. Nice try

In a court of law, the Prosecuting Attorney has to provide evidence to prove guilt.
If evidence is provided, the defendant has a chance to dispute it.
You better go learn about court all over again.
The prosecution MAKES A CLAIM.
The defense calls that claim a lie.
Where is the burden of proof? With the prosecution.
Alex made claims.
The youtuber called them a lie.
Where does the burden of proof fall?

Go to You Tube, type in "Alex Jones", boy that was a tough one!

It was the OP that made the claim of lies.
It is a lot of work for AJ supporters to argue these unsupported allegations.
Why should the burden of proof fall on the AJ supporters?
When I feel like it, I will argue one of the lies empirically. The OP is entitled to his 1st Amendment rights to his opinion. That is all it is worth.

Oh really?
He can NOT copyright his videos.
He suggests you get them for free.
People still buy them by the dozens from him.
People still send him money just so he can keep making videos.
So Alex has free videos for his fans to watch and they send him money for those videos and to keep making those videos. Uh huh. Who is the moron there?
All you need to do is provide any proof of any of the claims AJ makes. Why can't you?

All of his stuff is copywritten.
Every artist knows this, every playwright knows this, every filmmaker knows this and every musician knows this.
You can go to the copywrite office to have it done, but most playwrights and screenplay writers will mail themselves a copy of their material and not open it to have proof it is theirs. But videos, the moment they are released they are copywritten. He has not been in this business this long without knowing that. Everybody in the entertainment business knows that.What he cannot do is copywright someone else's work. If he borrows things from other people without proper reference, then he has violated their copyright.

Okay, I'll validate one of his latest points.
Alex Jones point: The NFL is patting down (groping) people who go to the game.
Validation: www.thedaily.com...
I have wasted my time proving a point made by AJ you could have easily done on your own.

Go after the real bad guys will ya?
Like a lieing scammer who uses fear tactics to gain money from people who are batsnip insane? Have you heard half his callers? Jeez.... Jones plays on these poor saps.
He may have gotten people into this stuff, but it's people like William Cooper who showed the TRUE side of whats up.

Name me one media organization that doesn't take advantage of paranoia to up their ratings. Also, show me a media organization that doesn't run highly questionable advertisements.
AJ has never got a dime from me, but I have listened to him and watched his videos.
Also, I find it rather unfair to just say his listeners are insane. Maybe some are, but aren't most of the MSM believers also quite insane?
Actually, show me someone who is not insane. I want to meet them.

Absolutely false.
Are you honestly suggesting that if I make a video full of clips from Transformers 3, it is all mine just because I made it?
No, none of his videos are. He cannot afford to do it.
You hurt your head? Alex is none of those things. Have you ever watched his movies? 90% of them is stuff he cannot clear.
You are really confused.
If I paint a picture, it is mine.
If I write a song, it is mine.
If I put a video together full of things OTHER PEOPLE CREATED then I have to spend a lot of time and money with lawyers in order to find a way to copyright MY video of THEIR stuff.
Originally posted by WarminIndy
Then you would be using someone else's already copywritten material. But you can make another film entitled Transformers 3 because titles of films cannot be copywritten.
He has been selling his stuff for how long now? And productions always cost money.
Is that because he is using copywritten material himself without proper reference or credit? And yes, news sources are not copywritten so they can be used anytime. He uses a lot of those.
You don't need lawyers if you ask them first and they give you permission.
But you must always give them credit. Sometimes you may have to pay and sometimes you don't. I am an independent filmmaker by the way, I have things that were released that I wrote. Someone else may come along and make a film like the one I made but the only thing they cannot do is use the dialogue verbatim. That is why we see so many films that are copycats.
The thing that can't be copywritten would be if I made a video of only one image of the flag. Any State Park and any national monument that is American belongs to the people of the United States. That is why most documentary filmmakers use national battlegrounds because they don't have to pay and they are not violating copyrights.
If I make a documentary with my name on it and my dialogue is copywritten. The producers do not have copyright on any screenplay unless the producer himself wrote it. Alex Jones is his own producer, therefore anything that is his dialogue and his image saying it, it is copywritten. Any film student learns this their first year of college.
All radio broadcasts prior to the 1950s are not copywritten, so if you use F.D.R.s Fireside Speeches that were broadcast, they can be used because they were before that time frame.
So if you think Alex Jones cannot copywrite, then you go ahead and make a film using his dialogue, see what happens.

Okay, I will argue your point. Are you going to discredit Jesse Ventura as well? Probably. Watch the video.
