Debatten var ein drittforsterkar under Fredrik Solvang. Om nokon var fæl nok i norsk offentlegheit var Solvang & co der for å invitere inn rasistar, konspiratorikarar og Russland-apologetar i studio for "balansert debatt". Debatten under Suvatne har altså ikkje vorte betre.

Landssvik. Satan. Kvinnelige politisjefer som svermer for muslimer fordi nordmenn ikke er maskuline nok. Landslagsspillere som ikke klarer straffer på brune keepere. Og ikke minst: pizzagate og «dypstaten». Vi har tatt et dypdykk i Document-redaktør Hans Rustads «Skogpod».

Da jeg skrev denne i 2014, var det fortsatt omdiskutert om konspirasjonstenkning var en viktig drivkraft bak terroren i Oslo og på Utøya. Siden er mitt inntrykk at dette er blitt en veletablert posisjon. Da er det corny å på ny møte på folk som mener konspitenkning er et sært tema for raringer.

Kronikk: Breiviks konspirasjonstenkning
Vel tre år etter terroren 22. juli, strever vi fortsatt med å forstå det som skjedde. Å svare uttømmende på hvorfor Breivik ble terrorist er neppe mulig, skriver Arnfinn Pettersen.

Å si at konspirasjonsteoretikerne hadde rett, blir som å kalle det presisjon når du skyter med hagle i alle retninger og tilfeldigvis treffer blink, skriver jeg i denne kronikken. Kronisk mistillit er ikke det samme som innsikt. www.dagsavisen.no/debatt/nei-k...

«The Quiet Damage» is a rare spotlight into the experiences of those close to conspiracy theorists. This heart-wrenching story shows how conspiracy theories can devastate even the tightest family bonds. While it offers limited optimism for reversing such beliefs, I found solace in reading it.
