InfoWars rockets up the charts in Apple's App Store, days after Apple and others banned podcasts
Yahoo / CNBC ^ | 8 hours ago

Posted on 08/07/2018 4:53:15 PM PDT by cba123

Apple did not respond to inquiries about why the InfoWars app was featured in the news section of the App Store. It declined to comment Monday when BuzzFeed News asked the company why the InfoWars app was still allowed in the App Store after the podcast was banned. The InfoWars app was also available in Google's Play store for Android apps on Tuesday.

I know Infowars is a banned source of FR.

But I really hope Alex Jones finds a way around this.

The leftist media, is truly out of control.

We need an alternate, for each of the mainstream leftist media outlets.

Conservative. Responsible. Unbiased.

Why is that?

Should/could the banning be reconsidered, given the recent events?

Oh, this is the best thing that’s ever happened to him. The blowback from this is going to shake the leftist monkeys right out of their trees. CNN et al. versus little blogger guy? They just lost the war.

Nobody is going to tell me what I can and can’t watch.

I think it’s probably the 9/11 truther thing.

It’s weird because I remember Jones being moderately well-liked by the left during the George W. Bush years. Same with WikiLeaks.

Alex Jones used to be 90% far out conspiracy theories and conjecture.

Now the mainstream news is 90% conspiracy theories and Jones is 70% legit news.

I feel like a lot of people were bitter about him trashing Bush and all of the War of Terror nonsense that happened.

In retrospect, he was right about a lot of things, maybe if he wasn’t telling all the time more people would have been receptive.

Bingo!!! Especially the rabid leftist clowns running Google, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Snapchat, Instagram, and all the other sites that claim to be “objective.” Nonsense!

Jones and Art Bell were likely very much in the same boat as “truthiness”. 60/40 on the fact/BS split. The question is do you believe the 60% or the 40%.

I think he’s a crackpot but thought Art Bell was pure entertainment and was in on his own persona and did it well. He was the talk show equivalent of a pro wrestler, he lived the gimmick.

Jones is the kind of guy that used to have a newsletter that went to 500 people, advertised in the classifieds of free papers and would send you “underground” cassette tapes for $5 and a SASE.

Jones has a history of sensationalism and that might be the reason.

Still, history is full of people like him giving the warning to everybody and they just continue to ignore or mock them (until it’s too late).

Apple/FB/Google banning him is very disturbing (while they won’t ban ISIS or Islamic terrorists).

I can’t agree with the comparison of AJ v. AB.

I don’t listen to Alex Jones - for one thing, I can’t stand listening to his voice (which he has never bothered to train for broadcasting) or his manner, or most of his flaky ideas.

Art Bell was an excellent speaker, with a lot of thought-provoking material sprinkled among the ‘weird desk’ stuff.

That said, I’m trying to balance ‘Alex Jones idiocy’ against ‘Sarah Jeong idiocy’ - and, Guess What? Alex Wins!
