Interested in owning Alex Jones’ conspiracy theory empire, Infowars? Its parent company, Free Speech Systems, is now officially up for sale following the approval of a Texas bankruptcy judge on Tuesday.
I mean......what value even IS there? He had a website, a microphone, and a dumb as hell audience. Paid for by ad placements for fish pills. What is there to sell really?
If you don't understand that controlling the infowars domain, his social media accounts, and his businesses 20+ year old subscriber records are valuable to right wing grifters, I don't know what to tell you.
The only issue is controlling Alex Jones. He's too batshit to ever work under anyone and without him most of the value evaporates.
So now it's up to rich people to decide if Alex Jones gets to stay on the air. Will asshole rich people who want him to continue buy it or will some nice rich people buy it to shut him down?
In the UK we have a presenter called Alex Jones, and she's absolutely lovely. She is a host on a show called The One Show, which is basically a topical light-hearted show that jumps from one thing to the next at hilarious speed (think heartwarming story about puppies to a sad story about someone dying or ovarian cancer in the space of a few seconds, while their guest immediately wipes the smile from their face).
Keep Infowars running, but replace the Alex Jones and turn Infowars into a family friendly topical show that brightens everyone's day. Let it succeed, and have him succeeded by the (Good) Alex Jones.
