Alex Jones' Infowars is a far-right radio show and website based in Austin, Texas. Founded in 1999, Infowars promotes conspiracy theories and unsubstantiated claims about various topics, including government cover-ups, false flag operations, and global elites. The show is hosted by Alex Jones, a controversial figure known for his bombastic style and extreme views.
Infowars broadcasts "The Alex Jones Show" daily, featuring Jones' commentary on current events, interviews with guests, and promotion of various products. The show has faced numerous controversies and legal issues, including being banned from major social media platforms for violating hate speech policies.
In recent years, Infowars has faced significant financial and legal challenges. In 2022, Jones was ordered to pay over $1 billion in damages to families of Sandy Hook shooting victims for promoting false claims about the tragedy. This led to Jones filing for bankruptcy and putting Infowars up for auction in 2024.
Despite these setbacks, Infowars continues to operate and maintain a dedicated following among conspiracy theorists and far-right audiences.
