Infowars on Thin Ice

(CNN) - InfoWars, a far-right media organization run by Alex Jones and known for peddling unfounded conspiracy theories, is on thin ice with YouTube after it posted a video that portrayed the survivors of the Parkland school shooting as actors.

Re: Infowars on Thin Ice
Youtube has been quite clear regarding their policies in regards to violence and hate mongering. Thats probably only ramping up with the increase in pressure to stop fake news.
So much of the violent push-back on everything progressive and reformist comes down to: I can see the future, and in this future I am not the centre of the universe and master of all that I survey, therefore this future must be resisted at all costs.

How do you define "far right"? I thought InfoWars/Alex Jones were more apolitical than left or right. Prior to Obama was non-stop talking about how bad the Republicans and Bush and the American Industrial Complex were. I wouldn't think that's far right.

He was just quoting the first sentence of the article, that you could have found through the link.

Fair enough. It would be interesting (perhaps in another thread) to get to the bottom of the word "far right." I'm confused as to what it means.

Infowars and Alex Jones wont get one strike against them. They are part of the divide and conquer system.
the REAL youtubers who speak truth to power are the ones losing their income, channels and rights.
The parkland school shooting was in my humble opinion, a hoax.
No one died, no one even got injured, that's my opinion and I am sticking to it. :)

In my opinion, it couldn't have happened to a more deserving guy. This idiot lost all credibility when he started trying to make a name for himself by peddling the Sandy Hook and Oklahoma City bombing conspiracy theories. You think he would have learned from the back-lash from Sandy Hook, but like they say, you can't fix stupid.

So that means that CNN clips won't be allowed on Youtube anymore? What about MSNBC?
