Isn’t the hallmark of “good” misinformation/conspiracy theory that it’s ever so slightly rooted in truth and is, on occasion, kinda-sorta right? Or at least “right” enough for the conspiracy theorists’ confirmation bias to kick in?

That the Epoch Times has reported on some things that weren’t complete and total bullshit does not at all mean none of their reporting is bullshit.

That describes a New York Times story. Slightly rooted in the truth and occasionally right. Not that I would describe that paper conspiracy theory, misinformation yes.
