- Overall, InfoWars/Alex Jones is a crackpot, tin foil hat-level conspiracy website that strongly promotes pseudoscience. The amount of fake news and debunked conspiracy claims, as well as extreme right-wing bias, renders InfoWars a non-credible source on any level.

Left vs. Right Bias: How we rate the bias of media sources
It scares and astonishes me that anyone gives that lunatic any credence unless they have some kind of substance addiction or mental health issue, in which case I feel sad for them. The fact that “InfoWars” (a fitting name if ever I heard one) continues to exist speaks to the state of American society in terms of media literacy and critical thinking skills. An educated, informed populace with healthy skepticism and reason would long ago have relegated Alex Jones to 2am infomercial barker — or a treatment facility.
