Why do major media outlets say "conspiracy theory is unintelligent" when history is plastered with conspiracy?

[Jaysonava]

I have have degree in history and everything is a conspiracy theory.

That Putin rigged the election is a conspiracy theory.

That the Taliban took over Afghanistan is a conspiracy.

That Catherine the Great murdered her inept husband to claim power over Russia is a conspiracy theory.

The many Balkan princes who were killed were killed as apart of a conspiracy.

Conspiracy theories make you think outside the box and really examine how you feel about a subject and whether or not you feel there’s enough evidence to delve into it further. And there have been many that turned out to be true! Project MKUltra, Tuskegee syphilis Experiment, Bohemian Grove, Operation Paperclip, Operation Mockingbird, and check out Canada’s “Fruit Machine”. 😳😳

There are conspiracy theories and there are tinfoil hat conspiracy theories. Just because some conspiracy theories are based in real event does not make the rest of them any less stupid.

[Jaysonava]

I guess those types of conspiracy theories are unintelligent

They are corporations with shares, the last thing in their interest is being genuine. They protect their shareholders interests.
