Conspiracy theories exploded online in the hours and days after Charlie Kirk’s murder. WIRED reporter David Gilbert hosts a discussion Nina Jankowics, author of “How To Lose The Information War” and Boston University Professor Joan Donovan to investigate why conspiracy theories around Kirk’s death are so potent, what they have in common with past assassination conspiracies, and how they spread so rapidly. This is WIRED: Disinfonation.

Women can’t be part of the Freemasons they have OES
I hope all the people in this video picked up their $7000 cheque
When someone’s so important in the world dies or is murdered, the people left with mess need to have a good reason for that death. So they make it up. Every time. You’ll know someone is important if their death becomes concpiracy.
This isn’t serious
Everything is a conspiracy now. Social media has made it Impossible to believe the official story.
This is what I call talking to say absolutely nothing. Ok thanks.
Looks like The Wired is profiting off of Charlie Kirk as well. What hypocrisy
Why is it always extremely well funded channels with ridiculous numbers of subscribers, yet relatively low views that have a clear exposure bias in favour of people with notoriety that always come out debunking “conspiracy” theories. They never adequately justify it, they predicate every rebuttal on a false sense of trust gained by brandishing alleged qualifications at the start of the video. Yet they don’t do what you’d expect and qualify their rebuttals with actual evidence, data stats. The recipe by which they qualify themselves seems to be something like 1) Here’s an arbitrary list of things which qualify me, 2) observe how confident i am that something isn’t true, 3) No further assessment or analysis required. And yet they apply that approach to the least viable theories, and don’t even touch upon the most viable ones. As if they’re attempting to create a resounding sense of doubt surrounding every theory regardless of it’s intrinsic merits. Strange thing to do if you don’t have a horse in the race.
Wifee is in on it!
Why are people so freaking crazy? There is no conspiracy. Not at all. These killings have been done before. This is a young boy who had a twisted mind and who was angry at the same time. He plotted to kill him and succeeded really should be the end of the story now but people just are bored and have nothing better to do.
Use the most ridiculous theories yet leave out the narrative given by Feds makes no sense!!!
Shameless to imagine the Feds story makes any kind of sense??
The majority of people distrust the government, FBI ,CIA , Police and the media . People are waking up.
This is delusional, he was shot and killed yall need to do your research better by facts.and not everything is a conspiracy theory, in Africa many are getting killed because of their religions . That is not a conspiracy that is facts.
