I am adding this to the talk page as I suspect that this will be suggested for deletion or merger very quickly. I believe that since this radio show get 100,000s - over a million listeners (varies from source to source) and the website that streams the show online is in the Alexa top 500 in the U.S. that a Wikipedia page on it is justified. Particularly as there are shows that get a fraction of the audience of this show that have a Wikipedia page, such as Viewpoint with Eliot Spitzer, a new show with less than 50,000 viewers. --Squirelewis (talk) 15:59, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
The show does not claim to be right wing or conspiracy theorists and they are subjective terms. Thanks. Also, the ADL should have no place on Wikipedia since it is a partisan org so I'm asking for deletion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.95.129.245 (talk • contribs)

Neutrality in question.
It seems like there could be a more neutral and still descriptive monicker for Alex Jones than to call him a "conspiracy theorist". I common usage, this is sometimes used to be a derogatory and dismissive characterization. I might suggest calling him a commentator, researcher, and talk-show host. Yes, Alex is controversial. I personally am very thankful for the information that he brings to light, even if I don't 'buy into' his analysis. Calling him a 'conspiracy theorist' implies that he and his talk-show are best discounted or disregarded; this seems to me to indicate an 'attitude' towards the content of the show, and seems to violate at least the spirit of 'neutrality'. Please try to do better. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.171.166.75 (talk) 17:57, 12 May 2013 (UTC)
We need an external source (not just Jones) that the show is "libertarian". — Arthur Rubin (talk) 15:46, 26 May 2014 (UTC)
