#roastalexjones has been trending and he is an end of days wingnut on the subway. His version of "news" is calling murdered children "liberal conspiracies". Alex Jones is the state of Florida in human form. #roastalexjones— Noah A (@NoahAbel) April 17, 2017
There again, almost half the country believe what trump says. I'm sending a terrific armada to Korea. Was one of the latest.
From the Alex Jones cross examination, click the tweet to see the rest of the insane stuff. Jones talks about marijuana use says he tests it yearly to "monitor its strength" says it's too strong now, blames George Soros for that.— Charlie Warzel (@cwarzel) April 20, 2017
This is laughable. Gotta love CNN's outlandish headlines from anonymous sources against the Trump campaign that are almost always wrong. No wonder they are in last place behind MSNBC now. Sources: Russia tried to use Trump advisers to infiltrate campaign https://t.co/Bg9JP2zt7J https://t.co/3zj7OTRR8c— CNN (@CNN) April 21, 2017
I put "headline" in a few English to Russian translators and then translated that back to English. It comes back as "header." That explains a little.
Chobani is suing Alex Jones for publishing false information linking Chobani to a child rape case and claimed that a Chobani plant in Idaho brought crime and tuberculosis. Guess who Alex Jones blamed Answer (Move your mouse to reveal the content) Answer (open) Answer (close) The law firm Chobani selected to represent them against Alex Jones and Infowars is directly funded by Soros. - https://t.co/vX3nSyePzP— Alex Jones (@RealAlexJones) April 26, 2017
Ah, so the people on this board that I see citing George Soros are getting that from Alex Jones. That explains a few things.
It's no coincidence that Chobani is a target from the alt right. Our national culture war is playing out in the world of yogurt. Greek yogurt is mostly eaten by a younger, more urbane and cosmopolitan customer. Conservatives say, what was wrong with our yogurt? It was runny and had fruit at the bottom. Attacking Greek yogurt is standing up for traditional American values. And of course it helps that the owner of the company is Turkish.
I remember an article about Chobani which mentioned in passing that the owner will hire refugees. The comments went absolutely crazy: "Why won't he hire Americans?" In spite of the article making it clear that 1) he does and 2) he also buys a lot of milk from small dairy farms in upstate NY that, otherwise, would have a hard time maintaining viability. But the alt-right fake news machine has been after Chobani for awhile. https://www.mediamatters.org/blog/2...re-also-driven-fake-news-and-alt-right/216175 Chobani has long been a target for “alt-right” media and outlets that push fake news. Fake news purveyor Freedom Daily republished a piece from Breitbart contributor Pam Geller in January 2016 that accusedUlukaya of “stealth jihad” because he encouraged more people to hire refugees. Fake news purveyor Before It’s News republished a January 2016 WND piece that originally attacked Ulukaya as “call[ing] on [the] biggest American companies to join [an] Islamic surge.” Anonymous “alt-right” forums, such as on 4chan and Reddit, were also complicit in pushing these claims. One such post stated, “Twin Falls Refugee Rape Special Report: Why Are The Refugees Moving In? - Breitbart CHOBANI YOGURT is owned by Turkish muslim.” This is not the first time Infowars has gotten into legal trouble for spreading conspiracy theories. Jones was forced to apologize for pushing the fake news conspiracy theory known as “Pizzagate,” which claimed that a Washington, D.C., restaurant named Comet Ping Pong was helping Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign traffic children, in order to avoid a lawsuit from that pizzeria. The Chobani case also highlights fringe and fake news purveyors’ ongoing campaign of anti-Muslim fearmongering. In the last few months, these outlets have targeted activist Linda Sarsour, smearing her as a terrorist who supports Sharia law, and former National Security Council staffer Rumana Ahmed, baselessly accusing her of being a spy. The smears on Chobani are emblematic of the misinformation ecosystem that features fake news propagators and “alt-right” outlets and forums. This network spreads lies and innuendo that harms people, spurs harassment, and contributes to potential economic losses. Just ask Chobani and its founder.

An incoherent, fear-dripping rant by that "Paul" moron was posted by one of the Islamophobes who get active after certain terrorist attacks. Under the right circumstances, he can match Jones hyperventilating inanity for hyperventilating inanity. I hope those circumstances never come to past
