Alex Jones’ InfoWars Offered White House Credentials

January 26, 2017   |   admintam

(ZHE) Things sure are changing in the White House press corps. According to a video posted on Wednesday, radio show host Alex Jones’s website Infowars, which has been accused of being “conspiracy theory and alt-right” by much of the established media, has been offered White House press credentials.

In the clip Jones explains:

Here’s the deal, I know I get White House credentials, we’ve already been offered them, we’re going to get them, but I’ve just got to spend the money to send somebody there. I want to make sure it’s even worth it. I don’t want to just sit there up there like ‘m in the media, look our people are there.’ People don’t understand this paradigm, we’re devolving in a good way, power from the federal government back to the people, back from the centralized MSM to the people, just like Trump said in his speech.

On Monday, White House press secretary Sean Spicer said that four “Skype seats” would be made available to some journalists who are outside of a 50-mile radius of Washington, D.C.. It is not known when the Skype seats will be deployed during daily press briefings.

He contined:

“[Trump]) keeps saying CNN is fake, and I’m not going to any of your fake news. What’s CNN doing in the front row, when [White House press secretary Sean] Spicer keeps going to them? And then the reporter yesterday goes, “Oh, maybe Trump wasn’t even elected. That’s why you say there’s fraud.” So they’re like little kids up there. These aren’t real journalists. Meanwhile, it’s just crazy, you should see Breitbart and Drudge, and also just reporters that are known to tell the truth from mainstream, whatever, promoted and put up at the front of those briefings, to bring up real questions, not just a battle where they’re just attacking with fricking lies”

Jones, a supporter of President Trump, is the owner and operator of popular web sites Infowars.com and PrisonPlanet.com. He is also the author of “9-11 Descent Into Tyranny” and “The Answer to 1984 is 1776.”

The White House has not confirmed Jones’ statement.

Meanwhile, members of the press on the opposite ideological spectrum were quick to mock the announcement, starting with Salon which said “Truthers in the briefing room: Alex Jones claims Infowars has been offered White House credentials. Donald Trump has long been cozy with the notorious conspiracy theorist, and now it seems to be paying off”

Trump and Jones have a relationship going back a long time. Despite being notorious for claiming that major American tragedies were actually part of sinister government-orchestrated conspiracies — including the Oklahoma City bombings, the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, the Sandy Hook elementary school shootings and the Boston Marathon bombing — Trump has appeared on Jones’ show, even saying, “Your reputation is amazing. I will not let you down.”

Trump has also adopted many of Jones’ own beliefs when they’re politically convenient for him, such as his current claim that he would have won the popular vote had it not been for undocumented immigrants.

One thing is certain: should InfoWars have a presence during the daily boring White House pressers, it will certainly boost their Nielsen ratings overnight, something which to the ad-savvy president is surely first and foremost on his mind.

Salon: 60 million Americans who voted for Trump are racist, threat to democracy

(INTELLIHUB) — Over the last two months liberals in the mainstream media have attempted to figure out why their candidate lost the election despite almost universal anti-Trump sentiment throughout the press.

Some have pointed to anti-elitist populism while others have written about so-called “white economical anxiety” as the reason tens of millions of Americans ignored the media and voted for Donald Trump.

Sadly, other “journalists” in the liberal media have decided to ignore reality on every level and instead just outright claim that the over 60 million Americans who voted for Trump are racist deplorables that should be attacked on a regular basis.

Hard left Salon propagandist Chauncey DeVega, in a new piece attacking the very idea of white working-class “economic anxiety”, has gone off the deep end with shocking claims that literally tens of millions of Americans are racist which is the reason he claims they didn’t vote for documented criminal Hillary Clinton.

The piece starts out by outlandishly claiming that the over 60 million Americans who voted for Trump are an actual threat to democracy as if voting itself is now a threat to the liberal establishment.

After then going on a sort of long rant about how white economic anxiety just can’t be real, including quoting two more hard left sources, DeVega gets to the crux of his argument. (which is one that many in the corporate media also believe) The over 60 million Americans who voted for Donald Trump did so because they are racists deplorables who voted the way they did out of a sense of white identity politics.

It is increasingly clear that it was neither white economic anxiety operating in isolation nor the white working class as a monolithic group that won Trump the White House. Rather, it was the fact that Trump’s campaign, in an extension of at least five decades of Republican strategy, was able to use overt white racism and white racial resentment to exacerbate and manipulate misplaced anxieties about relative group power and privilege in American society.

Historically, to be white was to be the quintessential American. In the United States, whiteness also proceeds from an assumption that white people are always and forever to be dominant and consequently the most powerful of all racial groups. This is white identity politics as both a practice and ideology. It is also the not-so-subtle meaning of Donald Trump’s slogan “Make America Great Again!”

With the election of Trump, the United States has fully entered its twilight years. In this tumultuous time, the American news media should be providing citizens with light and clarity. Instead, the media has largely chosen to normalize Trump’s election by peddling the fiction that it was primarily white working-class economic insecurity, rather than white racism and white identity politics, that propelled him to victory.

Keep in mind, this direct hatred for tens of millions of Americans is a view largely shared by most in the corporate media and not just the openly left leaning outlets like Salon (which has multiple former Media Matters writers on staff) but also some of the most mainstream newspapers and cable stations in the country.

The fact that this terrible piece was published in Salon should come as no surprise considering their long history of attacking and slandering anyone that doesn’t line up with their cultural Marxist world view.

In fact, just last week we reported on another piece on the website that defended a communist professor who called for white genocide on Christmas by labeling anyone who spoke out against him as the actual racists.

“The left has delved even further into insanity by actually claiming that the news outlets who reported on Ciccariello’s call for genocide are the actual racists for simply reporting the communist professors own words. That’s right, according to this line of thought, if you speak out against calls to kill people based on their skin color and that skin color happens to be white then you are the real racist.”

“In the sick world that is modern American liberalism, exposing a professor for attacking whites amounts to “mainstreaming” white supremacist beliefs. And don’t forget it was all just a joke!”

The election of Donald Trump has seemingly pushed the hard left into the abyss to the point where they are now outright calling literally everyone that disagrees with them racists.
