Infowars isn't the media.

This, and the original article, both specifically dealt with Infowars as a source of factual information.

Fair enough, but that's stupid and it undermines their thesis. Mainstream media rarely lies, although they are sometimes deceived or publish incorrect or inaccurate information (which is different than intentional deception and fabrication) but outlets like Inforwars lie all the time.

I think that is his thesis. From the first article:
> So Infowars often provides accurate data, but interprets it incorrectly, without necessary context. They’re not alone in this; it’s much like how the New York Times reports on real child EEG data but interprets it incorrectly, or how Scientific American reports real data on women in STEM but interprets it incorrectly, etc. This doesn’t mean these establishment papers are exactly as bad as Infowars; just that when they do err, it’s by committing a more venial version of the same sin Infowars commits.

> Dr. Yeadon recently warned the world, “They’ve jabbed four or six billion poor souls. Something like 1 in 1,000 have died, we don’t know how many more will die, but we’re into double figures of millions that have definitely been killed as a consequence of this policy and that tells you the people who are doing this are ruthless and diabolical.”
> He continued, “We’re beyond wrong and right, we’re into good versus evil. I’m not a religious person but the kind of planning and thinking it takes to have done what has happened are people who would worship Satan. They’re not normal people. I couldn’t do one part of this.”
Now, he could probably say "yes but this insane doctor did say this, and they're just truthfully reporting his insane lies" but the next line is:
> Bingo,” Jones concurred with Yeadon’s assessment before detailing how demonic entities have taken over the soulless global elite.
