1. it's the media versionof Kolchak the night stalker syndrome

Feb 2013

these alternative news and websites thrive on ant-governmental stuff(and make money in the cottage industry of hating the government).

and like Kolchak did, with his find a monster a week, they find something and applying
the old if builderburger six degrees of separation so a equals d even if it don't false parallel argument logic, come up with these scandals.

If one hates the ATF,the conspiracies make everything is bad type logic

funny thing is, they always forget to mention the tens of thousands of good things they do.

Only the one or two that isn't.

Like Kolchak the night stalker, or the X-files.

It's like saying poor John Denver is an alien because he happened to be born in Rosewell NM

works well if one in the media like the writers at these alt-sites hates the government though.

imho, feel free to disagree


btw, how does one know the 30 arrested wouldn't have walked into a school a few months later?
