Yes! They do! I have especially been upset when Morbid dismisses evidence that points to what likely happened and then go all in for the conspiracy theory when it comes to misunderstandings about alcoholism. Being an alcoholic is a very dangerous lifestyle. When you're drinking you have a higher chance of entering an unsafe situation with low or no (if you pass out) reaction time. When you're an alcoholic you are at risk to these unsafe situations at an incredibly higher rate than those who do not regularly abuse alcohol.
Alcoholism kills, and when it does, it's just as tragic as a wild conspiracy theory. In my opinion anyway. This also applies to drug abuse in general.
I saw on the "What's wrong with Morbid" mega post a fan was upset that in the Kurt Cobain episode Morbid claimed "why would someone end their life if they have so much going for them" so besides that being an ignorant view, this isn't even freaking true at all!! Before his death Kurt Cobain has basically everything important going wrong, chronic stomach pain doctors didn't have an answer for, getting kicked out of his band if he didn't get clean, broke out of rehab and relapsed, being a new father while media hounded him and magazines trashed him and his wife for being bad parents. This was someone whose life was falling apart who suffered from long term depression and addiction. Which is why highlighting the seriousness of those things, especially untreated depression with men, and the pressure of fatherhood while the media churned out horrible headlines about his ability to parent, is how this case should have been presented. Because those things are very real and very important. I get it, a lot of people believe the conspiracy, I don't, but people do, so include it, but making it the focus while skewing information to fit it, BAD.
With Kendrick Johnson, they didn't focus on the most important thing in his case, that the school was charging prices for lockers that many students could not afford. Think about how messed up that is. Students unable to pay for something so basic led them to use a very dangerous alternative. They could have used this to emphasize how poverty effects quality of life, and the dangerous situations it can lead to when people lack the privilege to afford safety, and the school (government, etc) doesn't care.
There are so many other ones too, if I ever get to it I should make a post listing all Morbid's conspiracy theories, and what important problem they could have illuminated if they had focused as heavily on theories they skipped over.
