The only measure by which Jones could have won is "He who yells loudest, is rightest".

Alex Jones wasn't really there to debate and Piers Morgan was giving Alex.Jones enough rope with which to hang himself. I actually believe if Jones could articulate himself in way that doesn't make him look crazy, he could have much more of an impact. No one wants to hear people shouting and screaming, because it just confirms the publics percepted beliefs about Conspiracy Theory nut jobs.
He knew what he was getting into and shoul have been more prepared.
Anyway pistols at dawn seems more appropriate than a boxing match.

Totally true. I have seen Piers on Question Time before (long ago!) adopting basically the same stance (the old playground one of the metaphorical fingers in the ears shouting lalalalala as loud as possible).
I really expected more from Alex Jones (having heard so much about him) but he came across terribly. All he had to do was give some reasonable responses and a proper debate could have ensued. Instead he acted like a toddler that has just had its favourite toy removed for bad behaviour.
Let me be totally clear here, i hate Piers and have done for a very long time. I have never seen him as a credible journalist because it is always possible to pull him up on whatever he happens to be preaching about - in this respect he is more "shock jock" than journalist.
Therefore for Jones to implode like he did raises serious questions, for me at least, about his credibility. And for all those saying he has been right about certain things, fair play - he has. However, if you rant about every topic under the sun, sooner or later some of those rants are going to prove accurate.........that doesn't make you clever or sensible, it makes you someone that rants a lot.edit on 8-1-2013 by Flavian because: spelling

Daily Mirror editor Piers Morgan has been sacked after the newspaper conceded photos of British soldiers abusing an Iraqi were fake.

There is a difference though in that US network chiefs employed him to be on a show giving his opinion about things - so that does, in fact, give him a mandate to discuss things in the public arena.
Equally, if for no other reason than the fact that he is kn*!, it doesn't mean anyone has to listen to him!
