Hullo,
I sympathize.
As someone with a good nose for bull-shite I tend to side with your POV
on this. What we are all witness to is the old signal to noise ratio.
As the publishing sphincters have been loosened {so to speak} first
with the DTP revolution and now the web allows any & all manner of
voices to be heard. I don't have the time I'd like to explore this
just now, but I think the general idea is to go back to those sources
you've trusted and build a chain of related and trusted outlets from
there.
More later, I'm sure.

BTW - Is it impertinent to ask whatever happened to our WTC questions
now?

ABC will air "Path to 9/11" for free for two consecutive nights to
an audience that has a hard time discriminating between reality
and fiction when the fiction is presented as reality.
I think I see a way forward:
ABC can run a crawler under the entire miniseries (giving it
that "breaking news" feel) stating "THIS PART HAPPENED ...
THIS PART IS FICTIONAL ... THIS PART IS PROPAGANDA".
I am deeply puzzled by the events of 9-11. I am a conspiracy theorist
and
have been from my earliest teen years in the 1950s. But I have always
felt
I could tell the likely conspiracy theories from the obvious bunk and
baloney. I have never gone in for UFO testimonials, stories about
pyramids
and so-called Watchers, the hollow earth and other weirdness. I do
find
likely, however, that multibillion dollar banks and other private
financial
institutions have a great deal of influence on governments around the
world
and that they are involved in the financing of our wars throughout
history.
And since corruption in government is so commonplace in countries
around the
world and throughout history, it is reasonable to suppose that these
vast
accumulations of capital in private hands are in some cases involved
in that
corruption and that huge bribes take place that are never detected or
prosecuted, and so forth.
But I am really confused about the 9-11 attacks. What part happened?
What
part is fiction? What part is propaganda? Sure Osama bin Laden may
have
had something to do with it, but how sure are we that he was not
working at
someone's behest? If our government is genuinely concerned about
terrorism,
why do they continue to drag their feet in securing our ports and
borders?
If millions of illegal aliens come into our nation every year, how can
our
government be sure that there are no terrorists coming in and bringing
weapons of mass destruction with them? Were controlled demolitions
involved
in the collapse of the WTC towers? How can we be sure one way or the
other? If the towers were brought down with controlled demolitions,
who
could have done it? Why would they do it? Did not Hitler and his
followers
have something to do with the burning of the Reichstag in Germany
during the
rise to power of the Nazis in that country? Could the attacks on 9-11
have
been something like that?
My access to the Internet has caused me to become increasingly
skeptical
about virtually all information sources. I no longer know how to tell
good
information from bad information, something I used to think I was good
at.
I am now confused to the point where I do not know what to believe
about
anything. It seems like almost everything is smoke and mirrors and
media
hype.
What do you think? Is the official government story about 9-11
accurate?
Or are we being fed an official line that is covering up something far
more
sinister? I just don't know any more.
