Your point is well-taken, but the sad reality is that "journalists" nowadays don't get the job or the contract unless they support the mainstream agenda. Even in so-called "alternative" media the journalists tend to support some agenda rather than reporting the whole truth.
Another sad fact is that lots of news people are actually out-of-work doctors and lawyers.
As for regular people spreading disinfo, this is merely driven by some ego need to be the first person to present some sort of outlandish gossip. If your gossip is supported by the mainstream media, then you get more oohs and ahhs. If your story is incredible enough, people will have no choice but to believe it.

The problem that I have encountered is when my opinion differs from someone else's. Just because I did't agree with a topic that has circumstantial or shaky evidence. Doesn't mean I'm a dis info agent.
I feel that that label gets tossed around way too much on this site.
People are going to have different opinions. Especially when it comes to the alien and other highly controversial topics.
Labeling them dis info agents and then attacking them doesn't seem like the right way to handle it.

One of the tidbits I didn't mention is that the thread has also been heavily visited by nearly every intelligence and law enforcement agency you can imagine.

I am wondering if some people even read my post in its entirety. People fail to see that I am practically not discussing disinfo agents perse, at all.
