Brehs, seriously.
When things happen, don't take one or two bits of info and then start a creative writing exercise in your mind.
It's okay to come up with a theory but to then deny actual evidence because you like your fictional version is insane.
Most things are pretty much face value. Most reporters and officials are not part of the illuminati and have no reason to cover for shadowy conspiracies.
Slow down. When it comes to news items, especially ones with scant details, just wait a little while before you decide that you KNOW what's happening.
