    Media = gathering term for all news channels (tv, magazines, newspapers, etc. etc.)

    'They' = All of them? Really? :p

    Take for instance, MH-370 that went missing. All kinds of 'Conspiracy Theories' out there.

    One being that the 'Plane and Passengers are all safe at some unknown airfield'. Say this and you are considered a WackJob !

    Relatives of passengers are already inquiring about 'Life Insurance Pay Outs' The response of the Insurance Companies? 'We can't pay out until we know for sure that your relatives have perished in the crash'

    Are the insurance adjusters 'WackJobs' as well? Just sayin'

    Yep. That pretty much says it all about that. Some (many) end up not being true, but some end up being true.

    No doubt these are conspiracies and they could definately be true. But they are not conspiracy theories. For it to be a theory there needs to be a person saying "hey look they are trading arms to iran" then when its found to be true it would be considered a conspiracy theory found to be true. Some of these conpiracies i question if there ever was a theorist.

    Because the corporations that own the media are at odds with the truth. Simple..

    Well first you have to accept the simple fact that its not the media. Or mass information system that's used daily. But people that bother you.

    The media bothers you because people repeat and get their understanding and facts from there. The people bother you because you can't get past their understanding of what they have devoured as fact. Many times using the medias reasoning. That's a polite take on the media and people.

    It goes deeper. Its very simple. Cows can be herded. People can be herded. Its a simple fact for people that understand that humans are really animals with all the same functions as an animal. People herd to work. They herd to lunch. They herd home. They herd to school everyday and back. Christmas, Easter, Memorial day etc., etc.

    If you get in the way of the herd lol. From what they think is fact. You can have a problem. For example: If I said that nuclear destruction is baloney. If I said that it was used to stabilize a Europe that was being divided up. By the Big 3. An Iran to stabilize an region that was in turmoil after 2 invasions. Many people would get really chaffed. Simple understanding. :)
