I think that Wikipedia is big enough that we have room for all points

main article that the 9/11 attacks were a conspiracy organised by the
US government, but we have an article on the various conspiracy
theories. In fact we have sub articles on specific theories.
If critics claim a bias in Wikipedia, then rather than battle over the
main article, just write a child article focussing on the specific
concerns. If there is any merit, then it will be revealed and
promoted. Contrariwise, if it is tripe, it will be labelled as such
and eliminated.

The limiting factor with respect to such endless proliferation of
viewpoint is notability, whether there is substantial published
information about that view in a reliable source.
A good source for subtle political motivations for expression of
political positions is political memoirs, and private correspondence,
such as that entombed in Presidential libraries. Not real helpful for the
latest news of a current campaign of course.
