Ok, I gave you the benefit of the doubt that you really had taken back your claim that this article was factual. I asked where it is, I cannot find it. I am starting to think you are a liar. I am going back to my pre-"fact" stance. Until you acknowledge that is not news because it has no facts, or you convince me how you twist reality to fit the word, there is nothing else you can really say.


Unfortunately the definition of "News" has been manipulated into more of a magazine article than current events. You will see this in your local newspaper as well, which I imagine has an opinion section.

The MSM does fact-checking.

You can quote me on that one.


hey Yoda -

couldn't help myself

you seem concerned - again - about whether or not ATS is providing reliable, credible, factual information -


The main reason I am the only supporter on the concept is that: Delusions are a common occurrence on ATS. Paranoia even more common. Can they be considered a mental health issue? That is for the professionals to determine depending on an individuals severity. They are however extremely common.


please explain how you know this - for a fact

if you want us to just accept this as fact - you're going to have to provide us with some facts

The media has correctly pointed out that there is a larger percentage of mentally ill people on conspiracy sites. Its just the facts. People have chosen to take that and blow it up into a enormous conspiracy against them, proving the media correct.


it's a fact? pointing it out is not evidence of anything - besides demonstrating that you can point

people are irritated (and/or angry) - I believe - because it's a somewhat conspicuous attempt to paint a picture of something they want an audience to see - and they paint it without any actual evidence

they just say so

they are supposedly in the news business - they don't get to just say so

people are irritated, again, because it's not a study - it's not anything - but just saying so

but, let's just go ahead and say that there is a disproportionately large number of mentally ill individuals on a conspiracy site

so? what of it?

I doubt that's really true however - I'd be willing to bet that many of those same people (unbalanced let's just say) get some of their news from, let's say - the ABC website

there may even be mentally unhealthy individuals who read all manner of news stories, provided by many different sources - who have never once walked down the friendly halls of ATS - or any other conspiracy website

how do I know?

I don't - I just say so

try it - it's easy - and fun
