Alex Jones

Alexander Emerick Jones (born February 11, 1974) is an American talk radio host and filmmaker. His syndicated news/talk show The Alex Jones Show, based out of Austin, Texas, airs via the Genesis Communication Network over 60 AM, FM, and shortwave radio stations across the United States and on the Internet. His websites include Infowars.com and PrisonPlanet.com.

Mainstream news sources have referred to him as far-right, conservative, and a conspiracy theorist; journalist Michelle Goldberg, for example, has stated in The New Republic that Jones represents "an old strain of American conservatism—isolationist, anti-Wall Street, paranoid about elite conspiracies—that last flowered during the John Birch Society’s heyday." Jones sees himself as a libertarian and paleoconservative, and rejects being described as a right-winger. In a promotional biography he is described as an "aggressive constitutionalist".
