Frankly, I think this is evidence that NSI should fire you. This
whole "media conspiracy" campaign is a failure -- one of those cases
where a propaganda effort is seen for what it is, and backfires on
the originator.
Of course, NSI can't really fire you, because they can't risk having
you turn on them. So I guess they are stuck with this
hare-brained propaganda scheme for the forseeable future. :-)
