John Oliver did a beautiful dissection of Alex Jones’ methods and madness.
Concluding with “[Alex Jones] is right: if you place small clips in isolation, he looks like a loon. But if you play them in context: he looks like a skilled salesman spending hours a day frightening you about problems like refugees spreading disease, and then selling you an answer.”
The John Oliver segment was done in 2016. The previous year, Alex Jones’ turnover was $45M, mostly from selling products he claimed would fix the lunatic problems he ranted about.
Jones is very good at what he does, unfortunately. I’m not the least bit surprised he’s in on ivermectin.
