(I apparently did not include the link to the Article when I posted yesterday. Link now included. Sorry.)

I know that anything to do with "conspiracy theories" is not to be posted. But this is not about any particular conspiracy theory. Its about what conspiracy theory is and how the phrase/term "conspiracy theory" is interpreted. Is "bad conspiracy" redundant? And what does the New York Times have to do with this?
