Infowars
Infowars is an American far-right conspiracy theory and fake news website created by Alex Jones. It was founded in 1999, and operated under Free Speech Systems LLC.
Talk shows and other content for the site have been created primarily in studios at an undisclosed location in an industrial area in the outskirts of Austin, Texas. Reports in 2017 stated that the Infowars website received approximately 10 million monthly visits, making its reach greater than some mainstream news websites such as The Economist and Newsweek at the time. The site has regularly published fake stories that have led to harassment of crime victims. In February 2018, Jones, the publisher, director and owner of Infowars, was accused of discrimination and sexual harassment of employees. Infowars, and in particular Jones, has advocated numerous conspiracy theories, particularly around purported domestic false flag operations by the U.S. government (which they allege include the 9/11 attack and Sandy Hook shooting). Infowars has issued retractions various times as a result of legal challenges. Jones has had contentious material removed, and has also been suspended and banned from many platforms for violating their terms of service, including Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, iTunes, and Roku.
Infowars has earned most of its revenue from direct sales of products pitched by Jones, which initially consisted of videos and later included survivalist products and branded merchandise, but shifted primarily to dietary supplements by the late 2010s. Jones has also staged direct-donation telethons called "money bombs" although Infowars was never a nonprofit organization.
On July 30, 2022, amidst a $150 million lawsuit brought against Jones and Infowars by Sandy Hook families, Infowars faced bankruptcy proceedings from 2022 to 2025, but a federal bankruptcy judge ultimately ruled that only Alex Jones's ownership stake could be sold, as its parent company was no longer in bankruptcy. The families took the case to state court, and in August 2025, a Texas judge ordered InfoWars to be liquidated to pay the families.
Infowars was created in 1999 by American conspiracy theorist Alex Jones. Founded by Jones with his then-wife Kelly, it was originally a mail-order outlet for the conspiracy-oriented videos produced by the Joneses. Infowars features The Alex Jones Show on their broadcasts and was established as a public-access television program aired in Austin, Texas in 1999.
During the 2016 presidential election, the website was promoted by bots connected to the Russian government. A 2017 study by the Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University found that Infowars was the 13th most shared source by supporters of Donald Trump on Twitter during the election.
In 2016, Paul Joseph Watson was hired as editor-at-large. In February 2017, political commentator Jerome Corsi was hired as Washington bureau chief, after Infowars was granted a White House day pass. In June 2018, Corsi's connection to Infowars ended; he received six months of severance payments.
In May 2017, Mike Cernovich joined the Infowars team as a scheduled guest host for The Alex Jones Show, with CNN reporting the "elevation to Infowars host represents the meteoric rise in his profile". On July 6, 2017, alongside Paul Joseph Watson, Jones began hosting a contest to create the best "CNN Meme", for which the winner would receive $20,000. They were responding to CNN reporting on a Reddit user who had created a pro-Trump, anti-CNN meme.
