We've all seen that film a million times; we know
exactly what he's talking about.  The focus of this
clip was supposedly on the guy himself.  Why cut
away from him?

If that had been a real Fox News clip from shortly
after the attacks, *Fox News* would have shown that
film as the guy was talking, and the logo and chyron
would be on it.

As you say, to strip in the logo is a lot of work.
They apparently decided not to bother with the
cutaways, figuring nobody would notice.

It all adds up, Barry.

It's of no interest if the first clip is a fake,
which it clearly is.

Right, which is why the filmmakers tried to make
it seem that's what "they" had done.

Happens to be one of my father's favorite quips.
He was the head of the German department at Harvard.
It's actually a very valid point.

Unquestionably.  But the *real* screw-ups (and perhaps
deliberate facilitation) get a lot less attention than
the sexy controlled-demolition, Bush-did-it conspiracy
theories.  They distract attention from what we really
ought to be looking at.
