Hi Erin, Thank you for your valuable feedback — we are on the same page. However, I did not praise Alex Jones.

It seems there was a misunderstanding of the nuances in my point. I noted that “his association with figures like Jones could prove both beneficial and challenging. While he gains support from those questioning institutional narratives, he also faces increased scrutiny from those wary of his policy direction and alliances.”

My observation was that Alex Jones has a large following on X promoting RFK Jr., but at the same time, his controversial reputation could be a liability for RFK Jr., who now has a major responsibility in healthcare. This was an insight shared with me by a political expert — a postdoctoral fellow — who reviewed my article for accuracy and neutrality.

I was not very familiar with Alex Jones before and have no affiliation with him.

I appreciate you pointing this out — it helped me reflect on how my message was perceived. I also noticed you are a journalist and would love to explore your work. Nice to meet you!
