How to cure compulsive internet based conspiracy obessions

Just read a book we inadvertently stole from Sunfolk called "How to be Right" by talk radio show host James O'Brien. It consists of the on air conversations he's had with various callers but this one was positive.
Ray: I was just listening to what you said about the internet melting our brains and I wanted to tell you what happened to me.
James: Go on
Ray: i dont really know any Muslims but I started reading stuff on line a few months ago, the EDL and that. And the more I read, rhe angier I got.
James: Angry about what?
Ray: Angry about these people poncing off us while plotting to kill us
James: wow!
Ray: I know, but they'd back it up by quoting from the Koran or the Hadiths and kind of prove all their points about Muslims without ever actually talking to any.
James: So what happened?
Ray: My wife told me to stop.
James: what do you mean?
Ray: I was getting angry with her, with her family, with everyone really. I'd start trying to convince everyone that we were under siege and they just couldn't see it. The wife said I was making myself ill and making her unhappy and she told me to leave the laptop under the sofa for a month.
James: what happened?
Ray: I was sorted in less than a week. Never look at that stuff anymore. Couldn't be happier.
