I know it’s easy to bash the mainstream media, but Anderson Cooper did a great job yesterday just dragging Marianne Williamson over her general idiocy. He let the Noo Wage guru have it, and he went deep:

Moments later, Cooper confronted her on her past suggestion that antidepressants were the cause of Robin Williams’ death by suicide, pointing out that the article she cited at the time was written by an organization funded by the Church of Scientology, which doesn’t believe in psychiatry.

At one point, after Williamson said she believed a “spiritual person” is just as qualified to talk about issues of depression as a medical expert, Cooper straight-up asked her: “The Church of Scientology—would you want them to be head of CDC if you were president?”

Also, as a mental health consumer, I loved this:

“Not all drugs numb you or mask you, and telling a seriously depressed person that taking an antidepressant they’re going to be numbed—is that not a good message?” Cooper wondered aloud.

I am living proof that evil psych drugz do not numb you. Not only do I hold down a demanding job cat herding technical staff on production issues, but I go out every weekend and picket a local cult. I’m the furthest from numb, thanks to a psych drug cocktail.

I hate Marianne Williamson with the heat of a billion suns, which, for those of you keeping score, is far worse than my mere dislike of Bernie Sanders. I want her to GO AWAY.
