I'm a fairly young person and I really only got into politics and the news within the last few years, so I haven't had a chance to keep up with the
evolution of the news media throughout the decades. I was watching the different news stations today and I couldn't help but keep my focus on how
often I heard news hosts and casters mention the term conspiracy theory and conspiracy theorists as of late regarding the Osama Bin Laden
assassination.
However, watching the news and keeping up with the mainstream media for the past few years I haven't heard conspiracy theories or conspiracy theorists
mentioned all that often. Is this something that's a new trend in the news or has this been happening for years? I'm curious to hear some of the
thoughts that other ATS members have on what the deal is with the sudden interest that the news stations have with conspiracy theorists. Did they just
recently become some kind of target for negative publicity that I'm not aware of?
