As Twitchy told you, Alex Jones teased an “Infowars exclusive” on today’s broadcast “featuring Kanye West and Candace Owens.” That understandably got a lot of people’s attention.
No, @kanyewest. No. NO. https://t.co/O35uL2MeZe

But shortly after Jones’ tweet, Owens decided to set the record straight:
1) I am not on Infowars today.
2) Disrespecting any platform watched by millions is silly.
3) Please stop telling me and/or Kanye “no”, “can’t” or “shouldn’t”.Advice appreciated. Commands shut down. https://t.co/2jVNIpzS4k

It’s good that Owens isn’t going on Infowars today. We repeat: That’s a good thing. But with all due respect, it’s not “silly” to disrespect Alex Jones or Infowars. We’re actually not sure how it’s even possible to disrespect Infowars, as they never had any respect to begin with.

A platform being watched by millions doesn’t mean that it is worthy of respect, and platforms can be criticized. I respect your ability to make your own decisions, but if you were going on infowars I think many would react ‘please, no’.

disrespecting that particular platform is necessary and warranted.

Also worth pointing out:
? but you disrespect mainstream media pretty often

Oh dear.
Well, anyway, if nothing else, we can all learn a valuable lesson from this:
Maybe don't take things Alex Jones says at face value

Seems like pretty good advice.
Like this. There's at least a 50/50 chance he's bluffing or misleading to get you all to watch ads for Super Male Vitality Mix 85https://t.co/Sj8fA0kj9a

We wouldn’t put it past him.
I think people are jumping the gun. "Exclusive featuring" could be Infowars talk for "we're discussing these people today." https://t.co/0sWY3TuKMr

You think Alex Jones would just go on the internet and tell lies?! https://t.co/Ky9WKISVIn

Ha!

Normally we’d tell you to stay tuned, but this is Alex Jones we’re dealing with. Probably best to just go for a walk instead.
