Because it’s a simple fact that the vast majority of bogus controversies and conspiracy theories come from the right. Right wing media and blogs are now totally corrupt, and utterly disconnected from anything we’d recognize as “journalism.”

They function more as state propaganda peddlers, deliberately sowing chaos and delegitimizing the very concept of facts and reality. People who are unmoored from reality are easy to control, and we see it happening with the Trumpist cult.
