I have spoken to him at length myself.

If you don't think Infowars is a serious news outlet, maybe you haven't watched them? In about 20 years they have had I think 3 retractions, which a propaganda rag like CNN or the Washington Post has to do weekly.

I would wish that HN would have more people who care about primary sources - that is what my academic training taught me. Perhaps if you listened to any of Bannon's speeches rather than malicious rumor and hearsay, you would have a different opinion.

They don't have retractions because they don't care about accuracy, whereas places like CNN will issue retractions or corrections for anything as simple as a spelling error. Your argument is like saying a football team is the best team in baseball because they've never lost a baseball game.

Again, Alex Jones has literally claimed that the world is controlled by Satanists and lizard men from space. It is not to his credit that he hasn't retracted those claims.
