I was watching a program about Russian propaganda a few months ago and they were saying that rather than deny a story it's best to simply add other elements to it. For instance when the flight got shot down over the Ukraine, rather than deny something that clearly happened what you do is pop alternative theories into it like say there was a NATO jet in the area, or that the missile looked like it came from another's territory etc.
So add alternative stories rather than deal with the real issue at hand, in that way you put so much crap out there that people simply do not know what to believe. This is why a trustworthy, free press is so vital.
The Russian press is an organ of their government. At least (so far) the US has a free press that will roll the government over a slow fire for their blunders. The loofa-faced shit goblin is trying to shut that down by calling it "fake news". How I wish that the US populace had more savvy.
What's funny is that you don't see that MSM propaganda is in part to blame for people holding these whacky theories about Sandy Hook and other tragedies. MSM lies so often that they have lost all credibility, that some people are starting to refuse to believe anything they report. This is just what happens when you lie so much and when MSM is so controlled. There is no free press. And when the government is known to have considered bombing people to blame it on foreign agents, people are going to think that things like that could still happen today. Of course the Sandy Hook theories are dumb because it would be so much easier just to kill the kids, but you need to keep in mind that this kind of whacky talk about these tragedies is only helping your cause. It's making people who question the establishment look like a bunch of retards. It is unfortunate that people or people related to victims are being messed with though.
