CNN Gives Conspiracy Theorist Alex Jones A Platform

CNN's Piers Morgan hosted noted radio host and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones to discuss his petition to deport Morgan because of his views on gun control. Jones is a 9/11 truther who has a history of inflammatory and baseless remarks.

On Monday's edition of Piers Morgan Tonight, Morgan asked Jones to explain his "Deport Piers Morgan" petition. Jones responded with a lengthy tirade that filled two segments. His comments included pushing the debunked myth that "more guns means less crime," claiming that "1776 will commence again if you try to take our firearms," referring to antidepressants as "mass murder pills" that cause people to commit violence, and claiming that "megabanks" have "taken everybody's guns but the Swiss and the American people, and when they get our guns, they can have their world tyranny."

Actually, I though Morgan made the fool Jones look like an asshole and a fool.

Jones is like Beck in his appeal to the paranoid and stupid.

I thought about this, it's somewhat irresponsible to allow crazy people on tv. That was, in part, what the movie Network was about.

Which begs the question, how did Beck get a show?

My thread accurately portrays Jones as a fringe cult leader.
