This is extremely misleading. Legacy media sells ads. Infowars sells products.

  > This is extremely misleading LOL what? > Legacy media sells ads. Legacy media also typically has broadcasting equipment, large headcount, spectrum allocation, and so on. > Infowars sells products. I'm sure those supplements have extensive R&D and product development expenses /s

    Yes you are implying they have the same margins and business model. They don’t. Surely alex Jones has broadcasting equipment. I didn’t defend alex Jones and i won’t. He’s a bad guy. But I care about accuracy. The idea that he’s rich is unfounded and silly

      > Surely alex Jones has broadcasting equipment. Broadcasting equipment. Think "towers/rented space on towers and dishes and antennas and radio engineers and technicians and insurance policies", not "microphones and a recording studio". Neither he nor his companies have spectrum allocation or licenses to broadcast.
