"Conspiracy Theory 101"


A recent newspaper interview focused on the book Conspiracy Theory in Film, Television, and Politics. Reporter Scott O'Connell's interview with the author asked questions such as:
  • How does a conspiracy theory usually get started?
  • What makes a conspiracy theory stick in the public consciousness, like the JFK assassination?
  • What role does the media/entertainment industry have in propagating conspiracy theories?
  • What does the prevalence of conspiracy theories say about modern America?
Read the answers to these and other questions in the Boston-area Wicked Local media by clicking here.
