Big Brother, mainstream media, government cover-ups. We want answers!

Big Brother, mainstream media, government cover-ups. You want answers? Well so does he. He's Alex Jones...

So goes the introduction to Alex Jones' radio show with the dramatic accompaniment of the Imperial March from Star Wars.

Having been an occasional listener to Alex Jones since the evening I saw him on Jon Ronson's Secret Rulers of the World in April 2001, the criticism of mainstream media for their spin and omission has been a thread woven through every topic he covered. Naturally, encompassed by News Corp/News International, Murdoch owned Fox News was a central target for attack.

It's a curious thing, then, that when the Murdoch media empire appears to be crumbling, there isn't so much as a mention on infowars.com. Not even when it was revealed that the FBI was investigating the possibility of News International journalists or private investigators being involved in the hacking of victims of 9/11 - not an area that Alex Jones is known for neglecting.

It can't have escaped the attention of Alex Jones. His right hand man for many years, Paul Watson, a journalism graduate, lives in Sheffield - and nobody in the UK can claim to be unaware of the News of the World phone hacking scandal.

So, how come Alex Jones is keeping so quiet about such a significant story concerning the mainstream media, police corruption and possible government cover-ups?
