I respect that they found and published the documents. I don't buy most of what they are selling, but in this instance, their journalism brought an important issue to light.

The problem is in the perception it gives to those reading your post.

Infowars is not a legitimate journalistic effort. It is SEO optimized linkbait garbage created with the intent of selling videos, speaking engagements, and other assorted junk to gullible people.

There is a whole network of crazy headed by the likes of Alex Jones that cross-link each other sharing ridiculous claims masquerading as real causes and small injustices blown totally out of proportion to support insanely tangential ideas.

Some of these people also believe the government is run by lizard Jews from outer space.
