I half agree with you, but please remember who controls major media. Stuff like that will be under-reported or mentioned in passing only in major media outlets. You don't have to look hard to find videos illustrating this either on /v/conspiracy or Youtube directly.
Right, not saying that just because it comes out of someone's mouth who's on TV makes it anymore true. Just that the Internet is the worst of platforms for honesty.
That's like saying a lot of people lie on the telephone. What's better than the internet? Scholarly articles? That's not always the case depending what info you are looking for. There may have been a few journos in history that would have the balls to look into things like this, but that's likely too dangerous a proposition with how closely people are tracked and monitored nowadays. So, you get shitty sources, half of which are lies and misinformation, and, if any of these "wingnuts" became popular, they wouldn't survive long.
