I would say Alex Jones was libertarian but now he's drifted more into right wing Republican territory. Probably because that's where the money is. Rush Limbaugh has played that market the longest and seems to be doing well still. Alex is far from being the professional broadcaster Rush Limbaugh is but the right wing is a gold mine that has made several political commentators rich. Quite a list. On the left you have Rachel Maddow on the cable networks. She's the Sean Hannity of the left. Then you have the Young Turks on the internet. I believe Cenk Ungar was on MSNBC at one time. Rachel came from Radio America and maybe Cenk did too. There just is good money to be made covering politics if you can manage to build an audience for yourself. Alex of course is the most colorful of the bunch. Maybe Glenn Beck would still be around if he remained a Morning Zoo guy but he seemed to want to be a pseudo college professor or Jesus Christ. He kind of blew himself out. Oh well. Good riddins.
