Should Alex Jones replace Piers Morgan and reform CNN from within?

[Beanz]

Hitchens had balls, integrity and intelligence unlike Chomsky who has led everyone up a blind alley intellectually. It's like the Emperor's clothes and you have fallen hook line and sinker for it Miles. So much hyperbole and absolutely no concession to the intricacies and nuances of reality. Deluded rambling Miles, you are a man like Alex Jones who believes his own hype. Puffed up with your own importance to the point that your fat eye lids are distorting your view of the world and your ears are growing flaps to block out dissenting voices. You are so afraid to change that you dismiss anyone who tries to see the whole picture, your opinion is that of an idealistic teenage narcissist.

People want to know the truth and that is a reason people want to listen to Chomsky and also Alex Jones in his own rather more unusual way. Chomsky is a great in his field and very respected when commenting on politics. People who tell the truth are to be admired. Hitchens sometimes did and was great then, but otherwise, he sold out his values.

There is so much reality in figures like Chomsky, Keiser, Jones etc, but their lively personalities also help them shine. They cut to the chase and speak to the core of the British and American political discourse. They do a much more significant job that the mainstream newspaper government schill prints.

you guys are all UK, so maybe Im missing something, but I have always failed to see Miles supposed self importance guys. He nevers says he is great or better than anyone else. How can you arrive at self-importance just because he is a critic of social institutions? Isnt that an unfair stretch? Seriously, how is he self important? Facts please.

Different people dislike me for different kinds of reasons. I think one the reasons is because of my rhetorical style. They think it is someone in an ivory tower sneering on the rest of humanity. It's a warped vision though, because I want a better world, and say as much. Is it so arrogant to say that there are too many people and that a poor person would be better off without that 5th child? Is it so arrogant to say that drones are killing innocent people in sovereign lands and for no good reason? Is it so arrogant to say that I don't have time for the paralympics? It seems to affront the intelligence of some that I will say these things. Is it not the White House who is arrogant, or that the slothful poor are arrogant, or that the PC brigade is arrogant, or heaven forbid even that some other posters might be arrogant? All I do is express a point of view. It would be arrogant to control the media and tell you want to think, which is what they do. A voice on a forum is merely a point of view. It is mine and if that is arrogance. Well, I don't mind.

These same people will attack anyone that wants a better world though. Chomsky? Galloway? All devils, and Hitchens is far superior! Just a collosal contradiction there, considering that Hitchens was for an illegal war that has proven to be based on lies. Chomsky was correct. Galloway was correct. I was correct and we must all be hated and be called arrogant for calling them out as liars and manipulators. Galloway destroyed the bumbling sweaty Hitchens in debate.

They will condemn you if you say a word against immigration. That is a topic that they have under total wraps. Millions flooding the UK. In the US they are trying to allow 20 million illegals legal status. These are countries that don't have jobs for it's young people and the agenda is to sink them under waves of immigration. The nightmare is coming and rampant inter societal conflict is a nice deflection from the criminals from on high who created the mess. Oh, so arrogant to be telling the truth. 'You don't have empathy. You hate people. You want them to suffer'. They put words in your mouth that you have not spoken. They twist and squirm and if all else fails will call you a 'cunt'. If that is all that you have then you have lost the debate.

We must have a rosy country. We must celebrate the Jubilee and show that we are happy campers. That is arrogance and delusion thrown in with arrogance. I speak the truth as well as I can and if sometimes I froth at the mouth, then so be it. I won't be a patsy and accept the media and that alone. If we did that, then there would be no guns in America too. I don't want that. I don't want the collapse that is looming. It's bad for all. If I was arrogant, I would be like a banker, a politician, a journalist. I am neither, I am just someone who won't swallow the lemonade. It is spiked and making people accept a world that is much tougher than it was before. We are all responsible.

I am not better than anyone, I am just one of you, and I care. I don't hate anyone, but I do vehemently oppose power structures that propagandise so effectively, that they make people who go against the grain seem arrogant. 'They are paranoid, they are conspiracy theorists, they are arrogant'. Just because we refuse to swallow the water, and think memorising sports stats is stupid, that does not make us arrogant.
