If you think stuff like that is helping... it doesn't.

The whole "put them all into a conspiracy-box"-thing is quite the "honeypot",
because it's so utterly convenient to apply, isn't it?
When you hear it long enough, it'll bring even educated people to a point, where they:
- start "throwing out the baby with the bathwater"
- or "shoot the messenger outright - on sight"

Problem is, when you act this way (dismissing people, who often enough dived "too deep into a rabbit-hole") -
you're missing out on the *valid* information-parts... which is exactly the goal of this scheme:
- to "taint valid information"
- leaving you only with the half-truths (or outright lies), which came over the "corporate-channels"
