Taibbi and Greenwald going to bat for Alex Jones
Alex Moyer has now made two movies in a row, TFW No GF and Alex’s War, that sound too much like journalism for today’s media. (...) She takes characters reduced in panicked media treatments to two-dimensional monsters and renders a nonjudgmental, tautly edited Herzogian treatment of who they are and how they came to be that way.
Greenwald conducted a very softball interview of him surrounding the release of Alex's War.
There's this really weird thing with Alex Jones where he screams about the literal Devil taking over, meeting demons at conventions and having them on videos, etc... at the same level of veracity as anything else on his show. But apologists often just bypass all that to talk to him as if he was a slightly extreme political activist or just an outsider ? And I agree that's one way to look at him, and all the
cosmic religious evil AI globalist extermination rambling is just stylistic flair but then you're left in the position that he's aggressively scamming his audience.
Jones gets up on stage at Greenwald and says he never lied intentionally and InfoWars is 90% accurate with no pushback...
Like, that director is entitled to make a "judgement free" film that only features Alex Jones & his employees (that's apparently what it is) but with a consummate bullshit artist like Jones I'd be a little cautious if my film was an accurate portrayal of
how they present themselves rather than
who they are. Doubly so when doing the press tour at the same time of Alex being in court for a bunch of ludicrous lies.
