Alex Jones Says Infowars Getting WH Press Credentials Is Like Jackie Robinson

ALEX JONES (HOST): There were more than 20 CNN, ABC News stories, you name it, just last night and this morning, about our interview with Dr. Jerome Corsi, who’s joined Infowars. Freaking out over the fact that we’re going to set up a Washington bureau, and saying “Infowars isn’t real. You can’t have that. You can’t do that. Stop them. Don’t compete with us. Don’t get in the boxing ring with us. Don’t get on the field with us. No, no, no, no, no, no. It reminds me of the '30s and '40s saying don’t let black baseball players on the baseball field. Because that’s basically what this is.

Prepare to be completely dominated. You know everybody likes Babe Ruth, okay, and I grew up liking baseball. He was a great baseball player, but it’s easy to have unbreakable records when he was only playing against white guys. I mean, it’s kind of like, that’s the allegory: Get ready for competition in media, okay? And I’ve got to say it, Infowars.com is absolutely aggressive, truth based, and savage when it comes to really taking action and not rolling over.

What CNN and other actual news organizations are saying is "Do not legitimize garbage by allowing them to play reporter at the White House". Then again, we have a man child playing president so, why not.
