With this article by Farhad Manjoo, Salon plumbs new depths in shoddy journalism. Farhad sets up a flimsy straw man and proceeds to knock it down. No mention of the PNAC. No mention of the Mossad agents caught red-handed filming the collapse posing as employees of Urban Moving Systems, a company even the government admits was a Mossad front. No mention of the lack of air defense or the stock trading irregularities. No mention of the magically collapsing WTC7, just moments after Larry Silverstein said it was to be "pulled". Above all, no mention of the extensive research that has been painstakingly done by people like David Ray Griffin. No, 9/11 truthers are just a bunch of hysterical people looking at photographs. Really, I would expect an article of this quality in the National Enquirer, not Salon.
