@TheMediaSociety @mrjamesob @mariannaspring @Bronte_Lord @jjn1 Conspiracy Theorist: someone who doesn't believe everything the government and MSM tell them, without question.
@TheMediaSociety @mrjamesob @mariannaspring @Bronte_Lord @jjn1 What makes someone an expert in this field?
@TheMediaSociety @mrjamesob @mariannaspring @Bronte_Lord @jjn1 Lack of a proper education is the real threat to democracy.
@TheMediaSociety @mrjamesob @mariannaspring @Bronte_Lord @jjn1 Just a thought, but what about if there is truth in the theories or they turn out to be correct? When that seems to happen the media looks the other way.
@TheMediaSociety @mrjamesob @mariannaspring @Bronte_Lord @jjn1 Turn off all MSM ... fixed it
@TheMediaSociety @mrjamesob @mariannaspring @Bronte_Lord @jjn1 Conspiracy theories grow because the media is not willing to ask questions but rather quite happy to follow the agenda of whoever is financing or controlling them. That’s all.
@TheMediaSociety @mrjamesob @mariannaspring @Bronte_Lord @jjn1 I’ve worked in media and news establishments, so I am aware that they do not publish the truth and the whole truth. Just segments which fits their own narrative and those audiences and owners with their own agenda. Journalist have become more a PR people rather than journalists.
