Comment on Was Alex Jones right about anything?
EpeeGnome@feddit.online 10 hours agoYeah, it wasn’t secret government chemicals like he thought, but regular old pollutants. I can’t recall if it was medication from insufficiently treated sewage, or industrial runoff, or what, but there really was a case of stray chemicals making some wild frogs gay. So he was a little bit right about gay frogs. He just was, as usual, astoundingly wrong about those chemicals being a secret government plot to turn people gay.

Ok that makes sense. Still it sounds like he was regurgitating the findings of a study of frog behavior in polluted environments, and then creating a conspiracy theory around it. How was anything he added correct information on top of the preexisting evidence?

No, nothing he added was correct, he just technically wasn’t 100% wrong in what he said on the topic. This is only notable in that he usually is 100% wrong.
