Conspiracists have managed to sustain public interest in their theories for more than 40 years, despite the rebuttals and third-party evidence. Polls taken in various locations have shown that between 6% and 20% of Americans surveyed believe that the manned landings were faked, rising to 28% in Russia. Even as late as 2001, the major television network Fox broadcast a documentary named Conspiracy Theory: Did We Land on the Moon? claiming NASA faked the first landing in 1969 to win the Space Race. .. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_landing_conspiracy_theories

Murdoch's election coverage 'insult to Australians'

But Mr Watson was not placated. Dubbed Rupert Murdoch's ''tormentor-in-chief'' by the British press, he has since devoted himself to the public scrutiny of the 82-year-old's global media empire.

A fortnight ago, the ABC's Media Watch analysed one week's political coverage in Mr Murdoch's Daily Telegraph. Of the 80 election stories it printed, the program deemed half negative to Labor but none negative to the Coalition.

Political conspiracy theories may date back to ancient times, but in the modern era they can go from fringe to famous in less than a work week.
On a recent Monday, a female supporter fainted behind President Barack Obama as he delivered public remarks health care. By Wednesday, the conservative The Weekly Standard linked to a blog post alleging the woozy woman was staged, which was picked up by popular Drudge Report. On Thursday, Sarah Palin posted the story on her Facebook page, saying she had to laugh at how easy it is to believe such a theory. Less than 45 minutes later, her comments had already been shared 1,400 times and liked by more than 5,100 people. (It’s now up to 8,073 shares and 30,674 likes.)
