Sorry, but if you look around this website you will find PLENTY of mentally ill people and PLENTY of liars. The trick is figuring out who is lying and who is delusional.
Out of all the topics I've ever browsed in Aliens and UFO's about 1% have had any factual information in them. The rest are fake videos and man made objects.

Please provide evidence that would significantly contribute to the theory in which AboveTopSecret is under attack by the main stream media.
Also please provide evidence that NBC does not stand to gain from your overwhelming emotional reaction which further promotes link-sharing of this article, and thus promoting unique visitors as well as advertising revenue.
MSNBC advertises on AboveTopSecret because both stand to benefit from each other. MSM provides a 'credible' source of news, while ATS creates conspiracy theories which surround them. I see a direct link between each other, and the "attack on ATS" is just another way to generate revenue for both companies.

Did I say it was a fact that ATS is under attack?

I'm sorry that you take this discussion so personally, but there are those of us who are actually seeking to contribute and obtain real answers.
This thread is about the supposed "coming attack on ATS by MSM" is it not? So why would you criticize me for asking for the evidence in which supports this outrageous claim?

The question is not necessarily directed towards you, but directed to those whom intend to participate in legitimate discussion which surrounds the claim this thread has made.
This is why it is obvious to everyone that you have set yourself out on a personal vendetta rather than contributing to an intelligent discussion. Not only are you making it harder for any real information to be obtained from this discussion, you are also preventing individuals with legitimate ideals to contribute their ideals.
Your position is ignorant, and you do not have the ability to see two sides to a story. Due to this stance in which you have taken, you have completely closed your mind to the possibility of the latter. This is equally as ignorant as any individual whom read the story and immediately took the stance that all conspiracy theorists are mentally ill.
Instead you walked away from the story with a delusional, and emotional, reaction as though you were personally attacked for being a contributor to said websites. This was the intention of the article, and whether you want to admit to it or not, you have fell victim to the mind control of the media that you so emotionally have set out to fight against.
Not only does this mean you have fell victim to your own persecution, it also means that you are paranoid and delusional in your opinion surrounding NBC's article. You have brought on yourself the paranoia that you have personally been attacked, and the delusion which supports conspiracy theory websites are under attack by the main stream media.
I will make my point once again which is in direct contribution to the structure of this thread, a subject in which you so steadily seem to avoid.
Main stream media provides the structure in which conspiracy theories are based off. Conspiracy theories provide the structure for individuals to pursue 'truth' through the use of main stream media. In this way both websites contribute to each others popularity and therefor would never have the intention of the other to be shut down or censored. It is further supported by the advertisement of the main stream media on ATS.

I'm sorry to take sides angel I was going to stay far out of this, but it has gone on long enough. You are officially beating a dead horse at this point, and the ABC article makes no definite conclusions as to whether or not conspiracy websites cause mental illness'. I have seen Yoda mention this a billion times at this point.
