The thankless job of a professional paranoid

I recently ran into Alex Jones' Infowar site, which provides an interesting perspective on current events from a guys obviously interested on personal freedom and not just a little bit wary of the notion of a police state.

Pros: the site has good articles on personal freedom, links to news bits that most people might not be aware of (since they're not at the forefront in Fox News or CNN), and historical references on what has happened on the past when governments started behaving like the current US administration.

Cons: Jones is overzealous. Combined with the fact that some of his reports (such as Invasion of America or Martial Law Is Here) basically expect you to believe that he is inded telling you the truth, and that the fuzzy photographs are indeed of what he tells you they are, might put some people off the confirmed information or personal articles.

All sources of information should always be taken with a grain of salt, and at least Jones is open enough to acknowledge his personal biases.
