I think it suggests the public's desire to consume kooky conspiracy crap has always been with us.

Sure it's come a long ways since Art started his broadcast in the 80's but a vein of gold that has always been there for the wacky or unethical to mine.

Art seemed like a gentle soul, Alex Jones seems like a total bastard.

This is probably giving the conspiracy 'community' too much credit, but we desire mystery. We desire myth and legend. We live in an era where all the great myths have been/are being torn down.

All that longing for the mysterious has to go somewhere.
