Alex Jones gets the death penalty?

Alex Jones is facing some tough legal problems right now, and he is flattered that he is being treated this way by the Obama administration. In fact, President Obama actually came to visit Jones in prison a few weeks ago. Still, it is hard to say what exactly will come of this budding media star, who threatens to expose some very sensitive information on health care and politics. Hopefully, it doesn’t end with this.

Indeed, many believe that Alex Jones may be sentenced to death. Even the mainstream press is calling for his execution. However, as usual, there are some problems with such calls. Usually, they end up being illegal and farcical. Yet no one seems to mind calling for the death penalty when they are tired of the Obama Administration.

If you thought that putting a celebrity on television would get you the attention you were hoping for, think again. Such publicity stunts do not work. It might make you feel like you have finally been heard, but the truth is you will not be heard. And as for the media, if they want your attention, they will give it to you gladly.

In fact, they love controversy. The more sensational the drama is on the air, the better ratings they get. Unfortunately, this reality is not always pleasant to see. As we have seen with Jones, he peddles conspiracy theories, which inevitably leads him into darker areas, where he is welcomed to spew his hate.

Many citizens have asked how can Jones even get the death penalty? Well, in actuality he could get it if he is in good health. Jones himself is said to be in excellent health. In fact, he has said that he believes in “freedom and liberty” and that he does not believe in executing people.

Of course, many disagree. Many say that Jones is unfit to be on a program that discusses matters as grave as capital punishment. Yet others point out that some of his comments border on anti-Semitism. Still, others wonder just what does he think? Why does he promote such hate?

One reason why Alex Jones gets the death penalty is that he is highly skilled at attracting attention. Much of this attention is of the same caliber as well as he is a master at getting people’s attention. He is a self-proclaimed “media star” who has a large following online. His YouTube channel alone has received over thirteen million views.

If the death penalty is such a horrible thing, why is it that Alex Jones continues to be given a stage at which to share his hate? Is he a celebrity? Some would say that he is a fraud who is benefiting from the fact that the mainstream media is afraid to challenge him. Is Alex Jones a hero to some, and fraud to others, and somewhere in between?

There is little doubt that Alex Jones’ main talent is his ability to make inflammatory and outrageous claims, which he does frequently. It seems that he is always looking for a fight, and he can never have enough. The media certainly provides him that fight, however, they do not serve as an authority on what is right or wrong. Thus he attacks them, as well as the entire American establishment. He is simply stating opinions that are widely held within the free world.

Is Alex Jones a hero to some and a fraud to others? That depends upon the viewer. One thing is clear. To a large degree, he is neither a hero nor a fraud. The only true question here is whether he should continue to get a stage at which to spew his hate. This is probably one question that we will never truly know the answer to.

What we do know is that Alex Jones and anyone who supports his view, is simply acting as a reporter in a democracy, which is exactly what he says he is. Whether he is actually reporting or just stating the facts is irrelevant. To punish him for doing what all reporters are allowed to do by our government is to punish the First Amendment itself.

Many people believe that those who support Alex Jones get the death penalty. This is not only their personal belief, but it also reflects the views of much of the mainstream media, which also report extensively on matters related to the death penalty. This is not unique to Alex Jones, but the fact that so many people believe this is a problem, and one which needs to be addressed.
