Surely there is an over the counter something or other you can pick up for that, Bill. It's known as the internet. Gives us all that is out there, and this allows a good comparison. Like the spike that the MSM is doing on the "Air-Enron" story. They used to be able to get away with this and none the wiser. Now we know. Is the story that big? No. Is the coverup important? Yes. It shows us the filter they are using.

Paranoia strikes. Surely there is an over the counter something or other you can pick up for that That begins to sound pretty insulting when you repeat it. The remedy is information. It is quite clear to me that Bill's brand of paranoia is called realty and an open unbiased press. It is difficult to keep up with LB's postings, but if you do, you will get all sides of the story. With time, You will also see press bias. Continually denying that the bias exists within certain msm is a clear indicator that one is not well-informed. For some reason I don't understand, liberals think a free press that leans the news is sufficient. Conservatives prefer to hear the whole story and apply their own interpretation and evaluation. Democratic leadership is beginning to recognize and speak out in the press about the lack of vision, the lack of a unified message, and the lack of goals within the party. It will take a while, but eventually the peons will begin to understand the very leadership that now whines about lacking these things should be providing them. Eventually...perhaps...the demo peons may come to realize that if they keep electing Kennedy, Kerry, Pelosi, Byrd, etc etc...they are going to keep on getting what they are getting for leadership. None. Only then will the demos have a chance to rise significantly and then only if their message is coherent and acceptable. Given their leaders history of changing tunes to suit the moment that is going to be difficult. Kerry made the flip flop famous. We are now learning that it was infectious.
