Honestly, I thought this was a given. Didn't realize it was a conspiracy theory that Saudis were at very least complicit.

Yeah, I'm sure it wasn't ALL of the "Saudis" but I thought this was pretty much accepted at this point. Maybe I'm just out of touch. I don't think most people even think about this stuff any more. It is really easy to put groups like states into one group. Truth is there are many actors with different motivations working against each other wield power. Crazy how often this is missed.

I think most of the interested people on the internet knew/suspected this for awhile. The threshold of credibility for modern journalism seems to be well prepared documents presented in a trial. Lawyers are the investigative journalists now.

In a way, journalism is dead. In another way it has never been more alive. We have lost the illusion of trusted authorities and must make sense out of the noise.

It does have some benefit, but if the average person doesn't want to wade through the noise, they end up being led astray. We need to both lose the illusion and have good discovery/aggregation/curation of the distributed sense that's made now.
