| | #The Wikipedia article of [[Alex Jones]]<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Alex_Jones_(radio_host)&oldid=755574598</ref> describes the InfoWars host as follows (as of December 18, 2016): "Alexander Emerick "Alex" Jones (born February 11, 1974) is an American radio show host, documentary filmmaker, writer, and conspiracy theorist. He hosts The Alex Jones Show from Austin, Texas, which airs on the Genesis Communications Network and shortwave radio station WWCR across the United States and online. His website, InfoWars.com, has been labelled a fake news website." Although InfoWars has over 3 million subscribers and was more accurate that the New York Times (currently on the verge of bankruptcy) in predicting the outcome of the 2016 election, Wikipedia has categorically labeled InfoWars as a "fake news website" in the introductory paragraph about Alex Jones. Any attempts to alter this description on Wikipedia is met with swift resistance from a cabal of left-wing administrators whose goal it is to paint Jones as an illegitimate crackpot.
