Frequently asked questions Many of these questions arise frequently on the talk page concerning InfoWars and Alex Jones.
Q1: Is this article biased?
A1: Wikipedia follows the consensus view of
reliable independent sources. Sometimes, as with InfoWars, the dominant view is negative. Wikipedia avoids
false balance and does not accord
undue weight to
fringe views. Q2: Should the article describe InfoWars as "fake news"?
A2: Yes. There is clear consensus among
reliable independent sources that InfoWars routinely publishes entirely fabricated stories, otherwise known as
fake news. Q3: Should the article describe InfoWars as far-right or alt-right?
A3: Both. There is clear consensus among
reliable independent sources that InfoWars's political stance aligns with the far right and
alt-right. Q4: Should the article describe InfoWars as promoting conspiracy theories?
A4: Yes. There is clear consensus among
reliable independent sources that InfoWars promotes conspiracies, most notably the false claim that the
Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting was a false-flag operation. Q5: Does the number of editors who complain about bias on the talk page, or the frequency of complaints, matter?
A5: No.
WP:CONSENSUS does not work that way. Please refer to Q1 for more information on the requirements for a post to merit consideration. It should cite reliable sources that contradict the status quo.
Single purpose accounts are often recognized as not being
here to build the encyclopedia, a valid
block reason. Editing is a privilege to work on the project where
free speech does not apply. Posts considered to violate policies (including
WP:NOTFORUM) may be ignored, collapsed or deleted (
WP:TPO). |
