Alex Jones operates from a pre-existing script to create sensational storylines by falsely claiming the media immediately labeled deaths as suicides or heart attacks.

One of the most important aspects of this is the narrative that the media immediately calls these deaths suicides, or in Breitbart's case, a heart attack, because that implies that there's a cover-up. And if there's a cover-up, that means that there's something to cover up, and that means that it's a murder. In Breitbart's case, Alex was just making up that the media immediately called it a heart attack. And in this case, he's doing the same thing with McAfee's death. It's a pattern of behavior that exists not because he's responding to real reporting, but because he's operating from a pre-existing script. Regardless of what any media outlet published about McAfee's death, as soon as Alex heard that he was dead, he knew the angle was that the media immediately called it a suicide.
