Notorious US broadcaster Alex Jones is a “performance artist” and his on air persona is an act, according to his lawyer.
Mr Jones runs the controversial Infowars website, which is known for propagating conspiracy theories and its support of Donald Trump.
But Mr Jones is now embroiled in a custody battle with his estranged wife, Kelly Jones, with whom he has three children. She said some of Mr Jones’s on-air rants – for which he is renowned – are evidence of him being “not a stable” father. However, Randall Wilhite, Mr Jones’s attorney, said the behaviour was merely an act.
“He’s playing a character. He is a performance artist.” Mr Wilhite said, according to the Austin-American Statesman.
Mr Wilhite said that using Mr Jones’ on-air persona to judge him as a father would be like judging Jack Nicholson in a custody dispute based on his performance as the Joker in Batman.

This is no different than guys like Stewart and le current year man saying they are "political satirists"
Just lawsuit damage control

anyone who thought the schtick was legit is retarded, while the subject matter may have some factual context, his antics are entertaining and bring a lot of recurring viewership, I dont get why this is so controversial. Bill Nye isnt a scientist but presents basic science in a fun and eay to digest matter, while Im not deluding myself to believe scientists are anything like him.
Brandon Reed
What's the big deal? Someone has a message to make and does it in as a character have you seen Ragaholic or everyone on collider. even women that like Star Wars.

no, you're a retard if you believe its an act. its a story the lawyer came up with.

If that is the intention it works well

Hold on kids well go for ice cream and toys after I post post a video about the frogs turning gay.
Ryder Sullivan
He went and pissed off TYT, I dont care if it was or wasnt an act, let the man see his kids.
Sebastian Hall
alex has been at this for a long time though, which would suggest that he's genuine. here's some classic '90s alex:
he is running a multi million dollar business and his personality is a big selling point, but that headline is still retarded misleading clickbait

You having buyers regret? Trunp miterally said he will shut down the internet to stop isis.
But you don't reemember that do you since you were busy beating your dick dreaming about the wall that ALREADY EXISTS.

For the last 2 years if you posted anything anti trump on Sup Forums you we re called a hillnshill, ctr, etc.
I truly used to love Sup Forums but the trumptards ruined it. And if you can't see that your new.
William Price
Imagine having Alex Jones as your dad. Shit would be pretty rad.
Noah Butler
He's not Le based water filter merchant now that he's speaking out against the Syria bombing
Cooper Martinez
No shit, have you ever seen his show? It's the WWE of infotainment. Not to mention ALL pundits are playing a character.
Justin Moore
He's batshit but self aware and exaggerates his natural personality. It's only like half-fake. Many such characters exist in the entertainment world
Samuel Gomez
I wish Sup Forums allowed webm audio, I've got a whole glorious folder of Alex Jones, but I ain't wading into /gif/ tonight.
Angel Nguyen
You somehow are actually ruining an offtopic bait thread. That's some next level dogshit.
Dylan Morales
>alex has been at this for a long time though, which would suggest that he's genuine
So has David Icke.
Robert Nguyen
I always thought it was just obvious that InfoWars was political satire. It's not like there's not any truth to anything he's saying. He did catch politicians performing that cultist ritual shit.
David James

Trumptards in general ruined everything when it comes to the future of our politics.
I didn't want Hillary or Trump to win. Sanders would have tried his best but I doubt he would have done anything to change the political climate.
All in all, America is too far split. The divide between the right and the left is so much, that America will, in my lifetime I feel, split again. It might not result in a war on whether or not to come back together, but a war on pure hatred. Cali will be it's own country, South Dakota down to Texas, over to Florida and Cali, and up to West Virginia will be a second, and the rest of America will be a third country. It will ruin the world's economy, but then again when have American's considered the consequences of their actions?
Jack White
I still love you i just think your retarded.
Jaxson Cox
I can't watch his show, it's so boring. There are ads every 3-4 minutes and he spends most of the time claiming he was "right" about things. And his "proof" that he was "right" is usually bullshit. Then he spends several minutes telling us that he has high quality sources even though they've been wrong many times. Then it goes back to ads and he takes some calls from idiots with their own dumb theories and no real information. In each two hour show you get maybe about 5 minutes of actual content.
Dylan Peterson
>using the "i was only pretending to be retarded" defense in court
Robert Robinson
Besides the fact he has a direct motivation to say something like that, he did lie about Bohemian Grove. He hypes shit up to sell products. He's as well informed as some of the less mainstream places on the internet, and the only time anything really juicy is said is when he has a guest on.
Noah Robinson

Does he have a laughtrack?
If not, it's hard to consider his show satire.
Samuel Butler

Wyatt Bailey
the guy literally rips his shirts apart like hulk hogan. he screams and cries and says ridiculous shit almost every day then he takes it another step further and pretends like the shit he's saying is deathly important. obviously he probably believes some of the stuff he reports and all the anti-globalism rhetoric but you'd have to be retarded to think aj isnt an entertainer first and foremost.
Dylan Bell
fucking kek
Juan Watson
The judge allowed his ex-wife to show that clip in court. AJ will never see his kids again. He's a drug smoking wackjob. Even if he was doing it as an act to sell more water filters, he still fucked himself.
Joseph White
It's evident that it's an act based on the fact that when he got high on Joe Rogan that he was talking about interdimensional child molesters, he knows hes gotta keep a wacky act up and was high and took it too far. A news anchor Joe had on the show said that his personally was drastically different off camera and when Joe was confronted about this and asked Joe looked like he wasn't answering 100% truthfully answering "yeah it sort of is" and not trying to go much further in the conversation, not wanting to lie but also not wanting to expose his friend.

You see there he used to do some interesting field work not just being a fat agitated studio rat.
Cooper Perez
He's for real a CIA plant though. He's a retard for sure but he's not really on Sup Forums's side as they seem to think now. It's bizarre, prior to Trump the site seemed to be pretty aware that Alex was a retard and a shill for the CIA.
Ayden Myers
You didn't refute his point though.

Gavin Nguyen
Sup Forums is a literal hugbox, being even remotely liberal just results in meme-spam. There is no discussion, no nuance, not a hint of intellectual discourse. There is nothing to gain there so I stopped going.

Josiah Adams
He's always been full of shit. After the Boston marathon bombings he swore up and down that it was going to be blamed on white, right-wing domestic terrorists right up until thenTsarnaev brothers were identified.
Logan Wright
>People who have apparently never seen anything of his aside from Vox or something saying how evil he is thinks this means he is completely lying about everything he says >Not realising this only applies to his wacky antics such as youtube.com/watch?v=UkRY_kA2Aaw
