Hi @jimbojones if I remember correctly you are are in Australia. It's cool that people in Australia are watching stuff like Alex Jones and his shows.

Well.. I'm an American myself and I've known about Alex Jones for maybe 9 or 10 years now.

He's from Texas which is is like half southern culture (east Texas) and half western culture (west Texas).

Alex Jones is sort of a mix of both. Btw, that's just my opinion as a person who has spent a substantial amount of time in the south (Mississippi) and the north (Iowa and Illinois).

You might be thinking why is all that northerner, southerner and western stuff a factor?

Well, its because people in these regions are typically brought up in very different worlds (yes, even in 2017 and probably for many, many years to come). A person like Alex Jones may have a view point on America which others in country might not be able to relate or even imagine as being what they know as America (that includes present day and thoughts regarding America's troubled past).

I watch Alex Jones on Youtube sometimes and I often find some his (and his crew's) news to be entertaining and sometimes worth looking further into certain stories.

Like all news (including mainstream) there are some inherent problems. For example, they are all trying to report the LATEST BREAKING NEWS (this includes Alex Jones and his crew of reporters) and in doing so they often get some of the details wrong at first. This happens with all news. Later on down the road Alex Jones is sometimes called out for being wrong (and being a fearmonger) about stuff while the mainstream media gets a free pass.

Lastly, politics (and culture) in the United States is like a football game. It's a two party system and the average American thinks that all ideas, viewpoints, and positions on just about every topic have to fit into either the blue team or the red team.

That has always seem outright loony to me but what can I do? I just be myself and try not to let the two party system get to me too much. That being said, Alex Jones and his show is interesting to watch even if just to get a different perspective on things.
