    I think purveyors of this never-ending 'espionage thriller' style of analysis experience a kind of recreational joy; it makes every news development they feverishly follow absolutely enthralling. Much more exciting than banal realityhttps://twitter.com/ggreenwald/status/973885344457347073 …

    An actual, not figurative, LOL. The hallmark of a deranged conspiracy theorist is that all evidence, including evidence that negates the theory, is instantly converted into further proof of it. See the next tweet for the most remarkable demonstration of this. https://twitter.com/tribelaw/status/973734587984699393 …

        Yep. And it's more than just passive entertainment. They see themselves as active players in the espionage game. That's why they herald themselves as "#TheResistance." So it makes them feel like warriors in a Great Cause, against an existential threat. People need that purpose.

        They'd be better off joining an Evangelical Church, which is probably less dogmatic.

        And, just incidentally, turning US politics into a Tom Clancy espionage film helps a great deal with ratings, clicks, social media followings, and other nice media benefits/incentives.pic.twitter.com/6eCu2osfbB

        Will the networks like MSNBC be attacking the appointment of known torturer Gina Haspel to head the CIA with the same fever as they do for the slightest new Russigate information. No debating the facts here, it's proven fact. Obama refuses to prosecute torturers, this is result.

        TV "news" especially, as an image-based entity, is structured for this focus on pop-cultural, analysis-lite dreck. But all media is guilty. Twitter recently pumped a story about the Stormy Daniels/Trump nonsense...under the heading "Politics". Lol, right.

        Tangentially to @ggreenwald's point: given the insanity of contemporary politics (Trump, etc.) a good conspiracy theory brings comfort. It isn't *us* that caused this, it's *them*. The problem isn't systemic or multifaceted - it's just one very bad man (foreign to us)...
