Ridicule Is The Best Disinfectant

From Vaughn Ververs' Public Eye:

Earlier we noted the lack of MSM coverage of this story and commented it was worth airing whatever the facts may be. By putting to rest some of the rumors that have been circulating, the Journal story shows exactly why it was worth looking into. The article notes that the FBI investigation is nearly complete and acknowledges that not all skeptics will be put off by "any disputing of their claims."

But it's a step toward putting much of the conspiracy talk to rest. And an example of how MSM organizations have more to gain in engaging such stories than ignoring them and letting them fester.

That's ass-backwards. Why should the national media cover an event of no national importance simply because a combination of dumbfucks and dishonest bloggers manufacture fantasies around the event? Let the Tosspots and the Malkins of this world fling their feces all they want, but why clean up after them? Correcting them will only fuel their paranoid delusions and persecution complexes, and they'll keep repeating their fanatasies as before.

If you must deal with these idiots, ridicule would seem to be a more effective and appropriate response. At least where institutionalization is not an option.
