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
