Not to be all black helicopter/alex jones or anything, but would you know if they were or weren't? It's really taking their word for it at this point. You did the right thing by unplugging.
Alex Jones might be a wingnut, especially about 9/11 conspiracies, but every once in a while he's onto something.
For example; for
months NO MSM or Alternative Media source (including AM) was talking about the US Justice Dept.'s so-called "Fast and Furious" gun program with the Mexican criminal cartels except Alex Jones. I listen to his show almost daily...like anything these days you have to take it con grano salis...but he was onto something with that scandal and it is proving to be a big problem with Eric Holder and The Pharaoh.
