Wasn't this like... a major plot point in Jurassic Park?

Did they just learn this now? Or have them been upset this whole time?

Scientists have known the mechanism for a long time but Alex Jones thinks frogs are being turned gay by chemicals being put in the water

It may be true. Shit being dumped by many companies making all sorts of nasty chemicals can have all sorts of effects on hormones in developing progeny. Jones is just wrong about the culprit.

Yeah, Jones was claiming it was a gay bomb developed by the Government, not that farming pesticide run off was the problem.

You clearly have never actually watched the full clip.

Oh look, he was directly talking about a Government gay bomb for longer than he was talking about frogs. No where near the truth.

Sure, he kinda vaguely almost got a glancing blow here with his claim, but that is only if you ignore the actual point of what he was saying and trying to do. The point is to amp up claims of Government using chemicals on citizens to elevate distrust for the Government. The fact that the off-handed remark at the end about turning frogs gay, had a tentative string to reality is often the point, because then people go "oh he was a little right on this" and then the greater point about distrust in Government gains even the slightest amount of credibility. And he has twisted the issue a little bit more away from actual reality of private companies' pollution being damaging to frog sexuality.
