Left-sided conspiracy theories
Reader comment on item: [Michael Barkun on] Old Conspiracies, New Beliefs

Submitted by David C. Stolinsky (United States), Jan 13, 2004 at 18:53

Isn't it odd that there are a myriad of theories about the assassination of JFK, but none about the shooting of Ronald Reagan or Pope John Paul II? See http://www.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2002/9/10/181707.shtml for more on this peculiar fact. Are leftists more conspiracy-minded? Or do the media publicize only left-leaning theories?
