"The more information we have about what governments and corporations are up to the less we seem to trust them. Will conspiracy theories eventually destroy democracy?
 
What if I told you I had conclusive proof that the moon landings were faked, but I had been told to keep it under wraps by my BBC bosses acting under orders from the CIA, NSA and MI6. Most of you would think I had finally lost my mind.
 
But, for some, that scenario - a journalist working for a mainstream media organisation being manipulated by shadowy forces to keep vital information from the public - would seem entirely plausible, or even likely.
 
We live in a golden age for conspiracy theories. There is a growing assumption that everything we are told by the authorities is wrong, or not quite as it seems. That the truth is being manipulated or obscured by powerful vested interests.
 
And, in some cases, it is."
 
Might I suggest that government secrecy, lying, and the ability to spend other people's money are actually destroying democracy?  Still, the article is provocative.  Perhaps it all really just is the conspiracy theorists fault? LOL

They lie.  It's as simple as that.  Continually, consistently.  And the BBC wonders why we don't trust them?????   People in the mass media don't seem to like using their brains much.

 

Democracy is destroying itself.  It was a fraud from the start.  That it works was just a mass delusion.
