I think the author would be pleased to know that Alex Jones was ‘ordered to pay $965 million for Sandy Hook lies' (https://apnews.com/article/shootings-school-connecticut-conspiracy-alex-jones-3f579380515fdd6eb59f5bf0e3e1c08f)

I liked the book and the concept. He did go on for a bit about climate change denials, but perhaps I feel that way because I already know/accept that climate change is real.

I appreciated him addressing the moon landing. I was also hoping he'd address the concept of a flat earth or other famous conspiracies such as Elvis or Amelia Earhart surviving, but that's asking a lot out of one book.

I was glad he covered vaccines, but wish his language around Autism was a bit more considerate as he referred to it as a disease.

I had known about pizzagate and was hoping that he was going to cover about when Palin misspoke about Paul Revere's lanterns and how supports flocked to Wiki to edit the article.
