I saw this topic on Reddit and it's amazing the amount of hypocrisy that is going on over there. Every day they yell that the President is attacking the 1st Amendment for having an opinion about the state of MSM. Yet somehow, this is on the up and up. That investigating other media sources on dubious grounds is not an attack on the 1st Amendment.
Breitbart is a bit of a stretch, but let's just suppose I give them that one. Where the fuck do they get the idea that Alex Jones of all people has any connections to Russia or spews their propaganda? I am not a fan of Alex Jones at all, but I can safely say this guy has never given the appearance of being cozy with the Russians.
This is a definitive attack on the media.

Alex Jones is clearly just a humble water filter salesman.
Copypasta from WikiLeaks is now 'connections to Russians' haha

They are making up stories and twisting reality. Russians listen to Alex Jones. In fact people in other countries like the UK listen to Alex Jones. People all over the world listen to Alex Jones. They are taking this fact and twisting into "Alex Jones has ties to Russia". It's a bs story. Alex has gone on RT before so I'm sure they will say OMG he was on RT so he's a Russian! It's just a bunch of bs.
Why aren't they saying Larry King has ties with Russia... He has his show on RT.
This is pure and simple media intimidation. They are attacking the free press. A violation of the first amendment.
