A conspiracy about conspiracies

Okay, follow me... [1] Research indicates most ppl get their ideas on crime stats from crime dramas on TV. [2] Research indicates most ppl get their ideas on ghosts from movies. Ergo: it's safe to say a lot of (dumb) folk believe fiction as truth. [3] No other country loves TV/ entertainment like the USA. [4] We have a conspiracy theory epidemic: anti-vaxers, Flat Earthers, climate-deniers, etc, etc. [5] Most of these theories seem to originate in the USA and are firmly held by ppl my age. [6] They - like me - grew up watching the X Files, 20-odd years ago - a show filled to the brim with every imaginable "trust no-one" conspiracy theory. - - - [7] Chris Carter, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!!!

Yep... chicken.
