Is Alex Jones left or right?
Alex Jones sits on the conspiracy-oriented, Trump-aligned right: he founded Infowars in 1999 and built its programming around claims of globalist plots, anti-establishment distrust of government and media, and strong support for Donald Trump. Courts ordered him to pay more than $1 billion to Sandy Hook victims' families for falsely calling the 2012 shooting a hoax, which pushed Infowars into bankruptcy. The Onion won the 2024 bankruptcy auction for Infowars and, after repeated legal blocks, secured a licensing deal in April 2026; Jones stopped broadcasting from Infowars on April 30, 2026, the site went dark, and he moved his show to a new venture, the Alex Jones Network, which draws a fraction of Infowars' former traffic. The Onion launched its parody version of InfoWars on July 2, 2026, with proceeds pledged to Sandy Hook families. Jones remains active on X, where he has millions of followers.
