Kinda' monopolizing but its been awhile
I've been reading a bunch of stuff lately on web sites which I'll euphemistically call progressive. God love 'em, much as I agree with most of what they say, they're what I'd refer to as the lunatic left. Real conspiracy theory stuff which has Bush as, pretty much, satan incarnate. Even read an article on Al Jazeera tha quoted Human Rights First as claiming that thousands of arabs/muslims (I'm making that up - something like that) are being help in the US in unknown detention camps.

But I've received a couple lately which claim as their source and white house journalist who has made it a practice to kiss up to staff and wheedle information out of them. But there are also references to a DC psychiatrist named Justin Frank (I think) uthor of some book called Bush on the Couch. The gist is that Bush is pretty commonly known to be mentally unstable, I mean like seriously.

I know, I know, god love the lunatic left. How could stuff like that not hit the mainstream media? Just wondering if other people see these things and what you have come to think of it.

2. Yea, hang out here for awhile
There are tons of tinfoil hatters that make every big news incident into a conspiracy. What do I think of it? Well, there are a lot of paranoid people on the internet, and George Bush's type of government has created an unhealthy atmosphere for the more sensitive types who are prone to these kinds of thoughts.

4. Well...
we ARE holding thousands of muslims in prisons, Gitmo and other various detention camps worldwide without releasing their names or charging them.

As for your second question, the mainstream media is essentially in the pocket of the RW. Anyone who listens to bunnypants at a press conference can tell. Peruse these:

7. thanks
Thanks for the sites, guys - I did check them. Who knows, maybe the guy IS nuts. You'd think at least some of the media are still pretty left wing and this stuff would end up on the national media. Anyway, thanks again.
