something very wrong with the world when people support nutjobs like Jones and Trump.... and others - what are you not seeing? or what do you want to happen?
Sure Jones is nutty to a degree, but very few take what he says literally. Which is what makes him entertaining to watch for the majority of people.

I'd say there is more wrong with the world that blindly believe everything they heard about Trump.
Then again low information voters is how the ANC stays in power
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Its like OJ and the 30mil+ he owes to nicoles family... hes only paid 150k of it or something and its been 30 years, if the personal bank accounts remain empty, they remain empty, doesn't matter how much you 'win', getting it is another story all together
Had no idea that he only paid that.
He could just do a celebrity rookie season and earn double that.
I have found that looking at judges can give you a key to the judgment way in advance.
Age and gender are a factor it seems.

Watch his old conspiracy stuff.
The man is correct on more than a few things.

You forget Jones is worse than OJ, so he'll have to pay more...

Well conspiracies tend to be based on some kernel of truth, at least the good ones.
But nah don't care too much about watching his stuff tbh. He's just an entertaining character if he's a guest on another show.
Too much effort trying to extract meaningful information from everything he mashes together

He is fun as a guest, Joe Rogan had him.
But Joe is a sea aye ayy asset so he coralled topics.

People have too much time on their hands. I see the internet as a blessing. Sometimes I wonder if it is not our curse.

"very few take what he says literally"
Not so sure about that?

Never underestimate stupidity - I see it right here and all over the world - democracy unfortunately allows stupidity to vote

You misunderstand why so many people enjoy his shows. It's not because they believe all his conspiracies. He's just a highly energetic person who's entertaining. Reducing him to just the SH incident is being intentionally dishonest.

You'll always have stupid people, but more intelligent people that are ill informed can be even more problematic. The latter is usually the case when it involves foreign news, especially the US with its extremely polarised opinions.
This is why a balanced news diet is so important when dealing with US related issues. Sadly very few bother with this as it becomes a hassle.

Depends on your definition of MSM.
Dictionary.com

the traditional forms of mass media, as television, radio, magazines, and newspapers, as opposed to online means of mass communication. Abbreviation: MSM

Collins

The mainstream media refers to conventional newspapers, television and other newssources that most people know about and regard as reliable.

Cambridge


Wiki

In journalism, mainstream media (MSM) is a term and abbreviation used to refer collectively to the various large mass news media that influence many people and both reflect and shape prevailing currents of thought.[1] The term is used to contrast with alternative media.

Yeah, so you're gonna have to explain to the class how Fox, the most viewed cable news network in the US and part of Rupert Murdoch's News Corp which includes the Wall Street Journal, the New York Post, They Sun, The Times, The Sunday Times and more *isn't* traditional mainstream media.

Oh, and top tip: Because it isn't MSNBC or ABC or NBC or CNN to the NYT or the WaPo doesn't cut it as a reason.
