InfoWars files for bankruptcy in U.S. court
The reason for Alex Jones’ rise and arguably the rise of Trump, AOC, Sanders, and other non-mainstream candidates like Majorie T Greene (to put it lightly) is the continued dying trust in public institutions like mainstream media. Why? The masses on both sides of the spectrum aren’t happy with revelations such as “catch and kill” or lying by omission or delay with the most recent example being stories on Hunter’s laptop. It doesn’t help that the only mainstream media outlet to look at the ties between the Wuhan Virology Institute, the EcoHealth Alliance, and NIAID is Newsweek; while others like The Intercept or Vanity Faire &amp; Rolling  Stone are either not mainstream or are primarily entertainment industry periodicals, or just straight up tabloids like the NY Post.<p>Occupy Wall Street and their successors, the meme stock clans, are other symptoms of diving public trust in public institutions, and so is the #EpsteinDidntKillHimself meme. It will only continue to get worse unless something changes, which is highly unlikely when various entities can just pay to kill or influence stories.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theguardian.com&#x2F;news&#x2F;2018&#x2F;dec&#x2F;07&#x2F;china-plan-for-global-media-dominance-propaganda-xi-jinping" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theguardian.com&#x2F;news&#x2F;2018&#x2F;dec&#x2F;07&#x2F;china-plan-for-...</a><p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.paulgraham.com&#x2F;submarine.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.paulgraham.com&#x2F;submarine.html</a><p>(I&#x27;m just the messenger.)
