A former video editor and field producer for Alex Jones' Infowars media company has publicly criticized his previous work, describing it as "nonsense" and "lies" in a recent interview.

Josh Owens, who spent four years working for the conspiracy theory website in his twenties, made the comments during an NPR interview published Tuesday. The interview was conducted to promote his new memoir titled "The Madness of Believing," which details his experience working for Jones and Infowars.

During his tenure at the company, Owens served as both a video editor and field producer. He described his role as focused on making content "look cinematic" for the media outlet known for promoting conspiracy theories.

According to the NPR interview, Owens remained with Infowars despite his reservations about the content because he found Jones to be a magnetic presence and the job provided good financial compensation. The interview also reportedly included details about Owens' involvement in creating a video purporting to show an Islamic State operative crossing into the United States from Mexico following a beheading.

Owens' public statements represent a rare insider perspective on the operations of Infowars, which has faced significant legal and financial challenges in recent years related to its content and claims.
