There are a lot of people like me who don't trust the government, but also don't believe every conspiracy theory out there.
In fact I would say that if you took a poll very few people trust the government to be truthful with them.
George Bush won re-election by getting over half of American citizens to believe that Saddam Hussein was involved in 9-11, but at the same time there was a very large portion of the population calling "Bullshit!"
The government definitely has disinformation and propaganda programs, but they are not nearly as effective as you claim.
But they do trust the government. They keep re electing them.
And I can remember people dancing in the street when Sadam Husein was captured and I remember polls where the majority believed Iraq was involved in 9/11.
I think their programs are extremely effective. The dreaded Facebook memes confirm, as well as the negativity surrounding conspiracy theorists.
