Because Jones has a very comprehensive idea on how to set up a low-hack, independent networking site, with all the bells and whistles of a full-blown news organization, that normally run on exponentially larger funding.

And also: because the Managers in the technology field have a unique profile in terms of management skills- Jones ticks all these boxes. In tech, oddly enough, it is not about technical competency as much as it is to do with soft-skills- people management, creative people in particular management, being versatile in communications, negotiatiion, yet still being able to understand technical conversations etc.

Remember that they have only been able to slow Jones down by litigating a decades-old nothing comment -literally one sentence in one show, that fit into a greater questioning-the-narrative of the mainstream story ('member free speech), and then bankrupting him for it (it should not have been done). Everyone saw that it was dirty. But then, of course, we get subjected to the whole Mossad-shill-smear idiocy. No proof all these years, and I'm sure someone will try and educate me on the subject. Anyway, in American Politics being supportive of Jews is not a draw-back. And it shouldn't be.

But to put it in perspective: The news organizations are all making a loss now - to podcasts from tiny private studios LOL. Turns out, people want to see conversations and such-like, not heavily edited ADHD content with commercial-breaks. Infowars studio was a grade up from regular TV - with its own satellite comms etc. ,and they were more like breaking even by selling supplements and other products, so obvio Jones' business model (think agile team-building) is of great interest to the huuuge networks. And TBH, they rely on pharma-funding, so all he was doing was selling good health, instead of dangerous stuff. So the criticism from trolls of: Here's the news and 'buy these pills' is just infantile, seeing as we see Pfizer in every mainstream commercial break.

Furthermore, Jones' encyclopedic, photographic memory and ability to organize teams of creatives, organize a mass of people on a bull-horn if necessary, has not gone unnoticed. The new administration can certainly use his talents, and he will be working for the WH, which will be an interesting turn of events.
