Hylander, I have no conspiracy theories. But after being a member of the military branch of the NSA, I am well versed in the techniques of Misinformation, Disinformation, and Disguising the Truth, with all their nuances. The point I was making is that the vast majority of people are ill equipped to withstand manipulation, regardless of the source, especially if they entrust all their data to a single resource. Using a slow drip of believable lies, a subtle manipulation can take root. This is how cults are formed. With the availability of a multitude of internet resources, it is imperative that a person diversify their data intake, and analyze the information with some common sense reasoning (if they have it).

The techniques of Misinformation, Disinformation, and Disguising the Truth all have a kernel of truth/reality, this is why they are effective. Sometimes this can innocently happen when a person tells an embellished story. However, it is a most effective nefarious tool.

I was only proposing what could happen in the next six month based on the past year, as you so well pointed out. Yes, be skeptical, and engage a multitude of diverse data resources, using common sense reasoning to differentiate fact from fiction.
