Some people thought it was a hoax

Bloody millennials and Gen Z's.

The people I personally know who believe tulip are boomers and Gen X.

Not all conspiracy theories are equal though.

That's what they want you to think!

so which are you?

[woohoo]

That's what they want you to think!

The illuminati won't get me!

Here is an example though, at the Munk debate you have two conservatives arguing that mainstream media can't be trusted for an unbiased view. An example was given about Cananda having a government funded media and its coverage of the trucker protests.

The liberal (left wing, I've no idea now) instead of attacking the examples or providing counter arguments called the two conservatives conspiracy theorists. He also accussed them of being racists because they said in the past that media performed due dilligence and fact checked.

Of course, more people will move away from mainstream opinions when it's not clear mainstream media is trustworthy and the arguments for it being trustworthy are presented so badly.

...government funded media...

What these people fail to understand is that "government funded" does not mean "government controlled". Which should be abundantly obvious with the BBC, for example, since it routinely pisses off whatever government is in charge.

Of course MSM has its biases. That's why it's important to get news from a number of sources. But MSM being not always reliable does not mean that WakeuPSHeeple94733344 should be listened to at all.

That's an argument that could have been made but wasn't. The Candian government gave a massive "bailout" to the media since covid would have been interesting to hear how that affected reporting.

But that would have been a good discussion to hear from people better informed than you and I. It would have been good to hear an argument from both sides on how the trucker protest was reported as an example. However, people get called conspiracy theorist or dismissed for not understanding how the BBC is funded.

Aunty & the slaver are not always reliable either.

Wrong. Ten people. One with IQ 90, the other with IQ 130. Mean IQ is 126, median is 130, mode is 130. Geometric mean ~125.

Only if your measurement of stupidness is discrete IQ score and have an unusual distribution or small sample size...It's true (for the median) if you measure stupidness as a continuous variable

A quarter to a third of the UK population are as thick as mince according to a survey.

https://www.theguardian.com/society/...theories-finds

The UK is home to millions more conspiracy theorists than most people realise, with almost a quarter of the population believing Covid-19 was probably or definitely a hoax, polling

Reported by the Guardian. Must be true then.

And yes , The Guardian group is so (not) not financially supported by George Soros. (Do your proper research before knocking this statement)

Looks like the propaganda machine is well lubricated and resources. Keep on going.

The fact is Covid virus is not a haux, but the UK and global response to it certainly proven, with fact supporting that was full of haux. All the mandates, lock downs, masks, vaccinating kids and so on were all supported by what is proven to be haux.

As for the rest of the points, all loads of liberal progressive propaganda nonsense. Only a moron would take this article seriously.
