How do you draw the line between conspiracies and the truth?

In light of Tucker Carlson’s recent interview with Putin, I’m interested to hear how finance professionals distinguish between the truth and conspiracy theories nowadays?

How can we find truth in all the biased media that has no distinction between fact and opinion anymore?

Life is subjective. You cannot escape opinions. You just need to be aware when something is an opinion and when it's closer to fact (there will always be bias in how facts are presented).

Besides, facts don't move markets, sentiments do.

If the people who were consistently wrong about everything for the past 10 years say it's a conspiracy then it's probably true and they just want to dodge accountability

If it's a "conspiracy" in the old school sense of like blood sucking demons doing adrenochrome or whatever, then it's just a guy who fried his brain on too much internet

There's no need to get into nonsense about WEF, Illuminati or whatever when it's plainly clear that we've got an entrenched bureaucracy that wants to dodge accountability and they have a sycophantic media running interference. It's not a grand plot. It's GS-15s who can't easily be fired. It's the Post Office or DMV but at national scale.
