Mr. Jones' rants are akin to Late Night monologues and skits for his audience. Late Night shows are "interview" shows, but most of the audience tune-in for the comedy. Similarly, I think most of Infowars audience tune-in for the rant of the day; both seem to be a way to contexualize the data and channel outrage, either in sarcastic humor or angry monologue.
I think the current major news media are quite interested in Pres. Trump's corruption and possible crimminality. They also have "rant" segments too. I think the major news outlets are mimicking Infowars; a sort of life immitaing art.
