A huge insight for me in recent years has been that "conspiracies" are only of interest to people in the political world if they are politically useful to them somehow. For example, "Watergate" (the official version) was useful to the Democrats, and they jealously guard the official story.
For people whose business is politics (ideological or partisan, not Deep Politics), news events are only important to the extent that they can be exploited in some way. Republicans don't really want to know what happened at Benghazi (which probably had something to do with CIA gun-running and supporting false flag terrorist groups) - they only want a weapon to beat Hillary Clinton with.
People like this, and there are many of them in the media, blogosphere, talk radio, academic world, are never going to be interested in the real truth. They only care about "political truth."
As I said on another thread, for liberals who believe in "good government," or conservatives who believe in "American exceptionalism," how does the truth about assassinations and conspiracies do anything but destroy their delusions and fantasies? The truth would force them to admit that their world view is totally wrong.
