On the History Channel, it's been a while now, but they aired a documentary entitled "9/11 Conspiracies: Fact or Fiction" which I watched and found it to be blatantly biased. I thought it was at least interesting to watch and see how ignorant some of the "debunking" respondants were. The editor in chief of Popular Mechanics is there so many times (go to 4:12) and he's probably one of the most ridiculous. Anyway here it is.

History Channel & Popular Mechanics.. what a fucking double team :D



I wouldn't trust anything from popular mechanics.

Not after reading how they clung to NIST like flies on shit; when the Draft report for commenting' was released about World Trade Centre 7, Popular Mechanics published an article basically stating

"The WTC7 mystery is solved! Thanks NIST!"

NIST replied, we're not finished, this is a draft report. and further on 2 years later, NIST U-Turned on their claims that popular mechanics had so tightly clung to.

No retraction or U-Turn was given by popular mechanics.

I watched all nine parts. Although I don't agree with the reasoning behind your assesements, I agree that it's a pretty poor show. Typical "Hysteria channel" program, but not as fnord-filled as their current style.

Very shallow, with one talking head answering another talking head. If they had run each of the sets of talking heads in different order (PM Editors first, then LC editor) the film would say pretty much the exact opposite of what they wanted.
