 Conspiracy theory
|
| The official 9/11 explanation is a theory about a conspiracy, but is never described as a conspiracy theory. The phrase has been deliberately given a perjorative meaning since the 1960s by the establishment, keen to quell any suspicions that commercially controlled media are not as objective as they claim. |
