Trump’s Infowars Pals Are Paying Their Crazed Fans to Wear ‘CNN is ISIS’ T-Shirts on TV

“We are launching a new contest to stand up to the Left’s calls for violence against the president and against other Americans for simply exercising their right to promote Americana. Infowars is launching a new $200,000 contest to expose CNN’s Kathy Griffin and mainstream media’s call for violence. We will expose the media’s terrorist campaign.”


To collect the prize, Jones’ for-hire hoodlums have to appear in a live broadcast wearing the shirt and audibly plugging Infowars. Each successful clod will earn $1,000 with a total of $200,000 in the pot. The purpose, according to Jones, is to expose CNN as a terrorist organization by virtue of their association with Kathy Griffin. Never mind that Griffin’s over-the-top stunt had nothing to do with CNN, or that she has profusely apologized. And forget that CNN quickly dismissed her from their New Year’s Eve special. The suggestion that Griffin had actually intended anyone to behead Trump is patently absurd.

Nevertheless, Jones is determined to proceed with his own offensive publicity stunt because, well, because that’s his whole shtick. In fact, he recently sweetened the offer to $10,000. The new prize calls for “the first person to say ‘MSM is fake news or terrorist media’ on live television.” And, of course, the all-important Infowars plug is still required.

This is what Donald Trump believes is journalism. He has personally appeared on Jones’ webcast and praised him adoringly saying “Your reputation is amazing.” And Jones has been rewarded for his sycophancy with a White House press pass (at least according to Jones). Just today Trump sent an email to his supporters bragging about pulling out of the Paris Accords on Climate Change. That email featured a link to an article on Infowars.

Let that sink in. The President of the United States sent his followers an official communication that cited Infowars as a credible source for more information. This is the same Infowars that says 9/11 was an inside, government operation. It’s the same Infowars that believes the murders at Sandy Hook were fake and staged by actors. Jones has also called the Boston Marathon bombing a hoax. It’s the very same Infowars run by a conspiracy spewing fruitcake who admitted in divorce court proceedings that he is just a “performance artist.”

1. What about "CNN is pro-corporate"

CNN seeks profits
CNN: infotainment



It is shocking that the right is going after CNN when the truth is that CNN is on the side of the GOP donor class.

[Ilsa]

2. How about prefacing the statement with,

"I was paid an outrageous sum of money by Infowars to say this in front of the cameras: "MSM ..."

[bresue]

3. What is it about Rubs...that they cannot think for themselves or have an original thought?

I have always been so disgusted that almost all Rubs are preconditioned into one thought process...and collectively they repeat whatever is spouted at the top, regardless who is at the top.

Do they not have their own ideas? If Infowars tell them what to do or say, are they going to blindly follow?

[Scurrilous]

4. CNN?

5. Attacking CNN is the authoritarian move

CNN is seen as neutral and reaches a huge number of Americans.

The first thing authoritarians must do is co opt the media.

That is the reason Trump and his dictatorship-seeking aides are attacking CNN.

7. CNN is coporate news

but they will not be satisfied until it is completely under the control of the right wing

8. Yup. This video is the best indictment of CNN and corporate news

6. Afteer 9/11 the French chanted "we are all American"

In support of KG we should chant "we are all French".
They had the good sense to take the heads of their tyrants after all.

9. Who will pledge $200K to expose Gianforte?

I'd like to wear a "Jail Gianforte" t-shirt on MSM. KG did not do shit to tRump. Gianforte, however, did do violence.
