What do I think of this evening's BBC's 9/11 Conspiracy Files? Well, it plays into all the standard yellow publishing techniques such as anti-semitism, disrespect for victims, delusional/paranoid, 'comforting' conspiracies, JFK, incompetence, strawmen, incomplete analysis and our good old friends from Popular Mechanics. To be fair, they do give a lot of key points such as WTC7, Shanksville, wargame (only mention 1 wargame though), WMD lie etc. But they don't mention the most crushing evidence like Operation Northwoods or put it into a historical/geopolitical context.

Overall, the attacks on the 9/11 Truth movement were slightly more subtle than in previous hit pieces we have come to be familiar with. Notice for example that all the investigations/witness interviews carried out for the show were for debunking purposes, none were to forward the 9/11 Truth agenda. They skim over many issues (like the wargames or the fact that a Florida FBI informant was living with the hijackers) which I guess was for time reasons. Also, the Pentagon part was way too long for my taste.

My impression is that viewers new to 9/11 Truth will come away thinking 'nothing there, nothing to see, just incompetence, move along'.
