Just because you are ignorant of the evidence doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Same argument can be used to provide plausibility for the existence of the flying spaghetti monster, celestial teapot, and God.
Wait, what? The criticism that the original comment had no meat was fair. But then, when you're linked to concrete examples of the hypothesized Propaganda Model at play, you invoke a generic argument about the FSM? Do you not see how you're making the same weightless arguments by invoking a straw man?
No, I wasn't referring to the "propaganda model" I was referring to his second comment, which btw, does not describe the propaganda model at all.
I can only assume that you missed the part where I linked to the evidence you said didn't exist?
I never said evidence didn't exist for ALL conspiracies. I said that there was no evidence in the particular article we're discussing.

I know about Iran-Contra, the gulf of tonkin, etc. How about the USS liberty?

Your link was very interesting.
