I have strong doubts as to the effectiveness and secrecy of a single-headed conspiracy. My version of this is “Most popular, open, discussion or news sources are heavily biased and many participants (including reporters with a byline or chat hosts) have a POV or purpose different than the naive cooperative view.”
Whether it’s a bot, a sock-puppet (alt account), a thrall (idiot parroting some demagogue), or just a low-value uninformed “real” participant, 90% of everything is crap, and has been since before Ted Sturgeon identified the phenomenon in 1956.
