> especially with corruption and conspiracy at the heart of our biggest national news stories (Epstein, the Mueller Report, mass shootings), and the platforms themselves functioning as petri dishes for outlandish, even dangerous conspiracy theories to flourish
Now the media uses the word "conspiracy" to try to delegitemize all media, sources, narratives and stories they disagree with. "Trump posts conspiracy theory on Twitter." "Without proof, Trump makes claims."
The NY Times pushed the biggest conspiracy of all: Russian collusion. Bombshell after supposed bombshell fell as the Times and CNN and other anti-Trump media braced us for the crushing outcome of that would come with the Mueller report. And then it turned out to be nothing. Zero.
