I agree AJ was just trying to prevent a lawsuit. I don't think Alefantis would have sued him however. We know he is at a bare minimum tied to powerful people who are into some sick shit. When you are a news outlet you have to choose your words wisely. AJ has done a lot of coverage on pedos and trafficking. IMO opinion people need to calm down AJ will likely continue working these stories. AJ can be really annoying but has truly worked decades covering stuff nobody would.
At a certain point you have to market your show. A lot of people will talk about his "personality." You know that podcast with Joe Rogan he did a while back? He wasn't a loud angry asshole when he was all drunk, and he was fun to listen to.
He has to put on this act for the show for the same reason Trump acts like a fucking monkey so that people will pay attention to his Twitter.
Everyone's so quick to jump to conclusion about news, Hollywood, sports, etc. personalities, without understanding that information must be marketed for these structures to be effective in their information network. If no one knows about it, no one listens.
I think he needs Rogan there to keep him focused and on point. Otherwise, he is very disorganized. Either way, Alex Jones provides some great information.
Rogan understands that you can't just pour information into an audience. He certainly helps AJ conduct himself, and I would agree that the two of them together would be pretty great.
