I think the real underlying problem is the media. When the MSM abandons efforts at actual journalism and are more a mouthpiece for a particular side then they implicitly encourage the more extreme voices on the other side. I generally put conspiracy theorists and most of the non-main stream voices on youtube, social media, etc. in the blind squirrel category. The proof isn't that a conspiracy theorist turned out to be correct; it's was the conspiracy theorist correct for the right reason.
