How photos support your own "reality"

Why do 9/11 deniers see an alternative story in pictures of the attacks? Because we all interpret images according to our biases.

    @ 9/11 denier?? Really Now??........

    You are correct, the holocaust is the model they are using. 6 million Jews died at the hands of Hitler (never mind the Gypsies, the gays and the disabled). Anyone can say that, and the heads will nod.

    6 million Jews died in the holocaust. No one would dispute this, because no one dares. Try saying, 5,500,000 Jews died. Then run fast.

    911 Truth as outlined in the Holy 911 Commission Report cannot be disputed in any way. It's the truth! Even if the more extreme elements of the Truther community are completely wrong, it is ludicrous to posit, as many do the the hurried, late, underfunded "investigation" got all their facts right in every particular. But this is what are supposed to do. It's biblical truth to some people. I find this very odd.
