Anything can be termed conspiratorial in the absence of information.

Best way to parade facts as fiction, is to write an opinion piece/news article, including the term "conspiracy theory/ist" in the introduction or better, the title

Example : "The J.F.K. Files: Decades of Doubts and Conspiracy Theories"

That way, and it works every time, every single piece of information flowing that buzz word, is automatically discredited/tainted, no matter how accurate and authentic it is, it's automatically put in the "conspiracy theory" normies basket, the term in itself, is synonymous of "warning, everything you'll read below that line is utter non sense for lunatics, don't beleive any of it", it has the exact same effect on the average reader
