Theories of Conspiracy/Partisan Slander:
Is there a difference? Like, is either more likely to evolve into Shocking News? Are those produced by a particular source, or do they come from all over? How can one tell which ones will be revealed as Awful Truth?
(inspired by a recent wave of such revelations)

What exactly constitutes "Partisan Slander" though?
Isn't the very allegation of "partisan slander" a conspiracy theory itself?
I know for one thing that this Al-Jazeera thing is not necessarily partisan slander, but something that people - and particularly Al-Jazeera - should know about.

The term gets itself thrown around a lot. Surely people know what they are saying?!?!:eek:
Like, the claims that AJ reporters were being deliberately targeted in Iraq, (those seem confirmed by now) -were they regarded as partisan slander or conspiracy theories?
In other words, is there a difference?
Btw, why do those who 'said so all along' enjoy the rubbing in so much? To assert their superior powers of deduction perhaps?
Gloating = Pride = Mortal Sin
bump (oops, 'scuse me)
...crossed my tiny mind, that 'told you so' feeling is not the same as gloating. Much more benevolent. Maybe because it is such a rewarding feeling, especially when experienced repeatedly....:D
