It's worth noting that almost every episode he broadcasts contains "emergency broadcast". And he's made claims that he's about to be arrested/assassinated/disappeared/shut down for well over 20 years at this point.
Looking forward to the next ep of KnowledgeFight, though.
EDIT: Sweet, new ep or KF is out!
EDIT 2: Hoboy, this is a wild one. Even those who normally don't listen to Knowledge Fight should check this one out (episode #930).
Yeah he does an emergency broadcast at least once a fuckin month. Just like Trump raised over 38 mil after his convictions. It’s all a con job. To take a page from Knowledge Fight, the media really needs to learn how to cover ol’ AJ.
Trump claimed to raise 34, 38 or 52 millions after the conviction. Stop taking his word for anything.
Ya know, I just don't believe that claim. Not in the slightest. Why on earth would anyone take anything he or his people say at face value?
But instead the media behaves like nothing was learned during the 2016 campaign. Who would've thunk: Clicks, ratings, Oxford comma, and ad revenue are all more important than ethical and non-destructive coverage. And I only agree with one of those.
It's the Oxford comma, right?
Right?
Of course
I will be cold dead in the ground before I tolerate the Oxford comma. It is not needed and useless and breakups up sentence flow.
Ok, however - If I said "I live with my parents, Bob and Midge."
How many people are in my house?
How about "I live with my parents, Bob, and Midge"?
I'd say there's a specific and important distinction made by using the extra comma.
Hmm...let me think about that.
I imagine a permanent police siren sound in the background for the extra tension!
Gotta love a 3.5+ hr podcast. Sounds like the time the Some More News folks did a "brief" look at Jordan Peterson for 3 hours. Good thing I commute 2 hrs a day and listen at 2.5 speed.
I don't really understand how channels like these crank out so much content. I wrote a lot of essays in college but I think producing 20000 words every week would just about kill me.
The trick to brainwashing is repetition and attention capture.
Knowledge Fight thoroughly breaks down Alex Jones' arguments, he says a lot of bullshit so it takes a lot of time. Also they're comedians and it's pretty entertaining.
Literally the reason the episodes are so long is because of the constant stream of bullshit Alex Jones spews.
Yeah, doing this right after the Trump conviction just sounds like he's trying to tap into the RW base's persecuting complex right now.
He's been doing that too for years. His rhetoric is very similar to that of Trump in that he claims to be the last bastion of defense against woke commie transgenders. "Support me by buying my crap, and you help me help you against this tyranny "
3 hours 45 minutes, oh baby
