I do not believe conspiracy theories are factual, any more than I believe the MSM are factual. Both offer a version of perceived reality.
Some conspiracy theories I find ridiculous, elements of others I find have merit. With mainstream media I have problems with items being censored and events reported frequently having an element of spin added.
In summary I find some MSM news reasonably accurate and some conspiracy theories quite believable.
