Stigmatizing Curiosity

Controversy over NEW Megyn Kelly Show interview of Alex Jones broke over the last few days. 

Alex Jones has called for the show to be scrapped after seeing the teaser claiming Kelly "broke" her agreement to fairly represent his views.   A sponsor pulled their ads over the choice of InfoWars host Jones and a Sandy Hook parents organization that Kelly was apparently speaking to pulled their invite.

The bulk of apparent opposition is the supposed illegitimacy of InfoWars - despite his large audience and the self-immolation of the main-stream media's integrity.  Increasingly GOP political aficianados' are recognizing the constant "cognative dissonance" of MSM towards real factual reporting and balance.

A perfect exanple of this "cognative dissonance" was the CNN image misrepresenting the attendees at the post-shooting Charity Baseball Game in favour of the Democrats despite ALL PARTY Congressional members who kneeled/prayed in a respectful gesture to critically injured Republican Whip Salise.
Initial tweet was eventually revised to mention both parties reps.

Aside from CNN's bias towards the Democrats against the GOP - it is rank hypocrisy to characterize the Democrats as respectful Christians especially when it is clear thay have been hostile to Christianity over all other religions.

All this obvious conflict between factual reporting and reality is begining to be unavoidable for MSM consumers - especially with the growth of Alternative News media online that document, re-inforce and VALIDATE these self-evident discrepancies and misrepresentations.

This loss of gatekeeper status has now reached a critical level and has clearly  "crossed the Rubicon".



The question remains WHY IS INFOWARS is so popular and I am pretty sure it has alot to do with the pontifical preaching of "naratives" by the MSM and how they are shilling for the Progressive/Democrats all the time claiming to be "fair and balanced". 

Conservative voters (who obviously elected Trump this time around) are searching for "better" news and and factual debate.  Lionel ? describes Alex Jones as "Performance Analysis" in a  nod to "Performance Art" where the key factor is making a honest and open enquiry of situations without a predermined outcome or answer and the 1976 film Network with popular personality Howard Beale comes to mind.
