> In recent years, however, Hersh has appeared increasingly to have gone off the rails. His stories, often alleging vast and shadowy conspiracies, have made startling — and often internally inconsistent — accusations, based on little or no proof beyond a handful of anonymous "officials."

From Wikipedia:

"Critics have described Hersh as a conspiracy theorist, in particular for his rejection of official claims regarding the killing of Osama Bin Laden and his rejection that the Assad regime used chemical weapons on Syrian civilians."

How come that people still take accusations of "conspiracy theorist" seriously, when so many have proven to be true (e.g. "NSA is spying on everybody" and "elite rich people pedophile ring")??
