nothing but conspiracy theories based on propaganda.

I mean, every report from American media is suspect

"Look at this deceitful, minimized, nothing-to-see-here reporting from CNN"

"Our entire MSM is whistling the same tune with little variation. "

"The NYT. Decent report lacking details though (and on the report: How cute. A little lapdog destroying the very freedoms we're apparently trying to bestow upon the poor Syrian people.) "

...but every report from sites that are less than credible is presented as evidence.

Above, Kerry swearing Victoria Nuland is somehow proof of Obama and Kerry's collusion with Turkey.

A link to a Daily Kos post where the diarist isn't even sure what s/he's interpreting, and most of the comments are dismissing it as unsubstantiated is also part of the justification.

It's simply stringing together stuff found on the Internet to justify a narrative while dismissing actual reporting for leaving out the conspiracy.
