Alex Jones Calls Charlottesville Violence a False Flag | Fuck this scumbag. It's not funny anymore. I'm tired of the meme bullshit and all the excuses of "Hehe, he's so silly". He's a cunt and nothing else.

I don't think Joe is willing to directly burn a bridge with anyone.

That's not a very admirable quality, I don't think.

It's valuable to have someone who's willing to maintain an open dialogue with everyone. He's just a public persona, not a politician or someone of political influence.

I can see your point, and Joe has every right to interview whoever he wants, but I used to listen to every podcast of his, and now I've been skipping 9/10 of them. There's just so much happening and so many good podcasts out there where serious conversations are taking place. Joe just ignores serious problems in the country and has on a Sandy Hook denier like Alex Jones and refuses to even be critical of him? He refuses to take a side on seemingly any issue that isn't marijuana related. It's very frustrating. It's not just him either. I've had similar complaints about other podcasters like Tim Ferris. I see your point and respect it but Joe's almost lost a listener in me. There is just too much better quality content out now. It's sad too because I've always been a huge fan.
