Summary: Alex Jones posts YouTube video to complain about YouTube censorship. Followers apparently can't tell the difference between government censorship and a private company's free web service.

That is because Alex Jones can't tell or doesn't know the difference either. I should complain that Alex Jones censors truth and reality from the infowars.com website. :roll:

He's not the only moron who thinks private companies owe it to him to provide a free soapbox. Witness the Bob Hurt thread.

Alex Jones and news are oil and water. He is nothing more than an entertainer posing as if what he produces is news.

I've been censored by both Blogger and YouTube even before they were the same company.

Anyone who thinks Google as a corporation is some kind of egalitarian information distribution nirvana is dumber than a bag of hammers.

Deal with it.

But if Alex Jones and the others had to pay to post on youtube, they could probably sue if their rights were violated. I guess that's why the internet is largely "free", for legal reasons.

When Alex Jones can't find a news source to support his paranoid worldview, he'll quote some fellow conspiracy nut's blog and pass it off as "news".

I think the word "entertainer" is a bit too positive or complimentary for Alex Jones. He's a complete tool and a poser. I know what you mean but I don't find him in the least bit entertaining and so don't think he even deserves that kind a label.

But, you didn't spend the last three years of your education in 6th grade, either.

True.

I find the Alex Jones fans to be quite delusional and conspiracy theorists. They irritate me
