Why do people believe in conspiracy theories?

Hi Argjent,
Great article. Here's my take on conspiracy theories.
When a majority the world's press is controlled by one authority, the narrative is kind of dictated to you. The follow on from that is that history is written on the strength of the way those stories were reported. Even if it is not the truth.
Anything not reported by them, even if you saw it with your own eyes, is a conspiracy theory until THEY say it isn't. There is more truth out there in conspiracy theories than there is honest reporting (reporters are not at fault here), and the way to discredit one conspiracy theory is to surround it with absurd news, almost in the same way politicians and banks and other authorities, pick good days to "bury bad news" which they are legally obliged to report....but of course this is just another conspiracy theory....right?
