He said the man accused of the shootings has a history of mental illness and asked, "How did he get access to weapons." Journalists show no skepticism regarding allegations of mental illness. They never question the accuracy of a diagnosis. In courts one psychiatrist says a person is mentally ill, then another says he is not. How can that be if psychiatry is scientific? Psychiatry is no more than personal opinion masquerading as science. Yet journalists do not question these charlatans. Are his family members psychiatrists too? Why did the sheriff accept their diagnosis? Why did journalists repeat it?


Two aspects of this ABC news report indicate the extreme bias of network journalists. One is they are clueless about the causal connection between psychiatric drugs and violence. If he had a history of mental illness did he take any, or stop taking, psychiatric drugs? The drug-company-controlled FDA requires a warning label that they cause violence and suicidal thoughts. This crime fits the pattern. But no mention from network journalists. The second aspect is that there is no causal connection between an accusation of mental illness and violence. Most people accused of mental illness are harmless. The effort by drug companies to criminalize mental illness is assisted by the useful idiots in the mainstream media.

[From article]
Carson City Sheriff Kenny Furlong said "There has been some suggestion by his family members that there is some mental health issues that we are going to have to look into."
