Too Much Alex Jones on 12160 ?

A MESSAGE TO THE SITE ADMINS - MEMBER NAME WITH HELD

Rather than make a public statement, this message is just for you, James, from me. Forgive me for my blunt directness, but this is how I think about this issue.

Alex Jones has his own shows, channel, and staff, and his following is quite large. If I want AJ's interpretation (or more likely his handlers' instructed interpretation), a lot of which is fear porn in my opinion, I will read/watch/listen to his articles at his site(s).

If one sticks to the very base bare facts, oftentimes AJ presents material that other sites don't. The problem is the manner in which he presents the information, continually editorializing and sometimes lacking verification and leaving out significant facts, intending hopeless dismay at the very least, and fear-based insurrection at the very worst.

This style does not present both sides; it presents one side, as well as how his handlers want the public to think. Fortunately, people are continually waking, and this transparent "tell them how and what to think" style is less and less acceptable to critically thinking people.

Every time I see another AJ article on 12160's site, I see more pollution of the purer alternative view that was once present here. Yes, it is my choice to skip the AJ articles here and I do skip them, but I do wonder why anyone feels the need to repeat articles here that already have a well known setting.

Thanks for listening.

This is a very good point and it cracks me up that someone would join a site who's name is numeric and not be curious as to what it means. Actually, many new members have asked me the meaning of '12160' and none left the site when I explained it to them. So here it is straight from infowars.com:

M-F 11:00am - 1:00pm on 12.160MHz

I think it should be noted that this site is a social network, and members are welcome to contribute any way they see fit. Otherwise we may have a group mind set and if you ever were on AJ's forum, you will understand it verges on cult like behavior often there.

Many, many people have met here and thought we sucked for some reason and have gone off and started their own sites. Think the count around 34 last I looked- most failed right off.

I think we need to stay together, look beyond a single individuals worth, even despite many of our reservations. For many of those spin-offs find the same issue, to many people choose to disagree rather than look for commonalitie s.
