The possibility of banning Alex Jones would not even be a conversation if the left wasn't trying to turn the country into a totalitarian state.
Alex Jones is what he is. He's an anti establishment wild man that gives a voice to a lot of conspiracy minded people that do not do a very good job researching what they claim. However, when the founders created the 1st amendment they had a guy sort of like Alex Jones in mind. They were thinking about a guy that was spouting off anti government, anti press, and anti establishment rhetoric that those in power would try to silence.
Those in power don't care if you spout nonsense about aliens and romantic affairs in the tabloids and hurt people. They don't care if you spin and lie in ways that help them. But they do care if along with your nonsense you tell truths about how the government operates that harms them even if you get some of the details wrong.
The assumption that everything the government and mainstream media tells us is true is about the most naive position a person can take.
