The insistence is because you are omitting the possibility that aliens from space are behind it all. Or possibly gnomes and imps from the inner Earth. Once you declare the only news available is a lie, you are forced into two options: (1) just say "the jury is out" and don't comment, or (2) pick any pure fantasy you want. I guess you are at (2).
The rest of us are doing the only sensible thing, which is to take the news that comes and accumulate it to see if it coheres and does not have divergences. That would at least provide consistency. Like any disaster, the flow of news is secondary to responding to the disaster, so it will be piecewise. If there is misfeasance or malfeasance, that can be determined later. But it is just a paranoid prejudice to go for the Plot at the outset. If all you can do is condemn the news for being news (it is all a Plot), you have nowhere to go and nothing to know.
