Placebo. I found this article on the subject to be interesting: Digital Drugs Do Not Cure Stupidity by Steve Novella http://www.theness.com/neurologicablog/?p=2132 http://www.theness.com/neurologicablog/?p=2132 This opening is quite amusing: I have never been a fan of the local news, where journalistic standards are often annoying. Often the local news is an exercise in insulting the intelligence of the viewer. But at least the local news was local. With the internet, however, local news reports are increasingly being picked up by larger national outlets and amplified manyfold. So now I get to be subjected to the worst of local news reporting from all over the country.
