There is a huge market for the crap that Jones and those like him peddle. HUGE. There are many that hate reality and so they take refuge in their favorite lies. Jones is merely one among many who are willing to sell them those lies.
Jones, at least, can be sued and deterred somewhat. Those that follow him will be more adept at avoiding this while still peddling their goods--and the politicians can rarely be touched...
and if there is one group that should be definitely harshly punished by lying it is politicians... put we very rarely punish them for their lies, because we LIKE their lies.. we WANT their lies.. and se we elect and re-elect.
And then bitch about what a mess things are. Bitch about what liars politicians are. Bitch about how corrupt they are.
And then re-elect them.
Politicians just do and say what they think the voters (or enough of them to get the politician into office) want them to do and say. Entertainers, like Jones, do and say what they think will make them money.
Though she got my vote in 2016, I don't care for H. Clinton for a number of reasons. But credit where credit is due...that 'basket' remark, despite the self-righteous blather from both the Right and some in the MSM, was spot on. The only thing I think none of us fully realized at the time is just how large that basket was, or how it would come to behave as a 'market'.
With the success of the sellers that we've since witnessed, about all that can be said to expand on that famous line is a take on another well-known one...We're gonna' need a bigger basket.

The problem isn't the sellers, it's the buyers.

Yeah, turned out she mis-estimated by about half.
