Could you name some of these extreme left wing people churning out rubbish?

I know my post was huge so don't expect you to have read the whole thing. I have no idea of any of the names in this thread alone, so I surely won't be giving you names, I don't need "influenced".
But from your response, I'm guessing you can start with "influences" you or as I suggested, the mainstream media is left bias

Depends on your political beliefs i suppose, she was one of the earlier people to build their brand on a platform of driving division.

I am sure there are at least Paul Watson supporters who think he has a genuine position or opinion on things.

What makes them different from you?

How does Una Mullany "drive devision"?

Watson profits from ramping up hatred.

Really? Any big names in the US MSM who advocate nationalisation of industry, advocate the creation of a US national health service, advocate breaking up the mega-corporations, advocate taxes on wealth, advocate free third level education, advocate a green new deal?

Quite silly for you to corral 'left-wing' in America into those categories of yours.

But anyway... Michael Moore is an obvious big name in the US MSM who is by any standard, left-wing.

Some of her articles would have been standard click bait attacks on groups in Irish society.

I suppose though political belief does lead you blind, which is why Watson's supporters don't see it as ramping up hatred though.

Anyway off to bed goodnight.

Are you seriously comparing Michael Moore to Alex Jones?

No.

If you think I am, you should pay more attention to the thread you started yourself.

Oh I see, you think the Democrats and their supporters in the US are 'left wing'?

God love ye.

To answer the question that was asked.

I quoted the post I was responding to, and the thread can easily be reviewed to see where that came from.

Why start a thread if you aren't capable of following it ? ? ?

Jones is sui generis, and the rest of us have taken the thread towards a more sensible approach than the start you got us off to.

Unfortunately Jones is not unique. Lots of similar knocking around.

You're mixing up two different posters here. I was giving examples of failed Irish "artists" who jumped on the sanctimony bandwagon and have profited from it. IE: grifters.
If you browse through the people who retweet and reply to them you'll find a whole network of similar unknown writers, actors and musicians, all desperate for some form of public adulation.

I would say Gwyneth Paltrow could be viewed as a "progressive" analogue of Alex Jones in the sense that she's also affecting a false commonality with her target audience, claiming to be sharing unique 'secret knowledge' and to be flogging overpriced snake-oil.

Public adulation is the point of those three professions lol

Who are they lieing about and directing hate at?

Not really.
Has she claimed anything remotely close to his conspiracy theories or even much to do with politics at all?

If you don't get paid then you're not a grifter.

Really trying to sell this Gweneth Paltrow is the left wing equivalent of Alex Jones thing. Admire the persistence but not really working out.
