InfoWars is objectively fake news

As Guy Macon points out at Talk:InfoWars#Let's_review,_shall_we?: Alex Jones claims that the US government kidnaps children and makes them slaves at our martian colony, that kids are only pretending to get shot at school and their parents are only pretending to grieve, that Michelle Obama is really a man, that Carrie Fisher of Star Wars fame was killed to boost DVD sales, that the coming New World Order is a demonic high-tech tyranny formed by satanist elites who are using selective breeding to create a supreme race, that tap water is turning frogs gay, that Temple of Baal arches will be erected in multiple cities around the world Real Soon Now, that the Democratic party runs a pedophile ring through pizza shops, that the US government commits acts of terrorism against its own citizens, that Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are literally demons from hell, that the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami were a government plot, that Obama wanted to detonate a nuclear bomb in Charleston, South Carolina, that FEMA runs concentration camps...

That's why the Wikipedia community banned all citations to InfoWars and even put in an edit filter to prevent it from being linked.

Wikipedia is not required to create artificial balance between reality based sources and utter bullshit. We're not required to hold the hand of anyone who can't tell the difference and we're not going to welcome them if they refuse to help themselves.
