I think Alex Jones represents part of a growing problem in the US, specifically with TV shows and rhetoric which is designed to make people rage and flare up. Some Americans seem to have this strange obsession with being exposed to extremely intense, loud and over-hyped TV shows, over and over.
I'm fascinated by how some types of people see to become addicted to rage, they get almost turned on by being exposed to shouting and extreme ranting - you can see it with the success of other TV shows like Gordon Ramsay "Hell's Kitchen" where the whole show is written to be as loud, ridiculous and insane as possible - because that's what an American audience has become conditioned to want, there has become a desire for more and more extreme content, more shouting, louder voices - who cares about truth or decency? just throw in more volume and BS, anything to rile people up - there not there for truth, they just want to have a good rage.
I have no evidence for it at all, but I have a hunch that the underlying climate of rage-filled TV/News/Radio/Media and stuff propagated by people like Jones, could be a factor in some of the serious problems the US have in their society, with things like gun violence, rampages, social tension etc.
