Conspiracy theories......

[Ohrodneyrodney]

Some sources of information are credible, others, such as yourself, are not.

And the credible sources of information are..........................

I'm not going to waste my time.

That's because you cant name any, fair enough. Which is exactly my point.

OK I'll bite..
The credible sources are experts, through their experience, knowledge and qualifications.

If you were designing a huge bridge, would you trust an experienced, qualified engineer with extensive knowledge about bridges, or an unqualified bloke who thinks he knows how to do it ?

I’m genuinely curious, where do you get your facts, and sources of information?

Oh, the unqualified bloke every time. The crash is just such fun.
It is reasonable to view the media sceptically but to then conclude every time that they are misleading you is equally silly.
I see Russell Brand is now blaming his troubles on the deep state and a media conspiracy. He will, apparently, post a full explanation on some looney tunes website later.
Russell you have just convinced me of your guilt. The deep state hasn’t even heard of you, you Trumpian prick.
P.S. Just wondering what the deep state might be.

I guess the opposite of believing conspiracy theories is believing the mainstream media. I'll keep an open mind thanks.

You guessed incorrectly. That’s like saying the opposite of supporting Manchester City is supporting Sky Sports. Those two things aren’t the opposite of each other… they aren’t even in the same genre of entities, as one is a football club and the other is a media corporation.

Much like a conspiracy theory is an explanation of something using unproven, uncorroborated or false evidence and the mainstream media is a group of broadcasting and publishing outlets for entertainment, news and sport. They are different genres of entities.

The opposite of believing in conspiracy theories is not believing in conspiracy theories.

I’d trust the YouTube bridge building expert Bill ; )

Ok I'd say the opposite of believing conspiracy theories is not believing in them.

Like when the worlds experts come on TV and give explanations about covid, you either believe them or not. They are not the media. They are highly qualified extremally clever experts.

True but with a Caveat, I believe 8 million people or so or on the National Health waiting list, that must touch the majority of the population, if it is your sibling, parent or grandparent. So is mainstream media full of experts both political and medical on how we can improve this. Or is it Prince Harry, Kim Kardashian and what Russell Brand did ten years ago?
