A step up from the sensational noise of conspiracy theorists.


God bless the Michael Moores and Alex Joneses of the world who are all too eager to carry bullhorns into public areas, decrying the malice behind devious plots and picking fights with blue collar security guards and cops. If not for them, there'd be far fewer "dissenting" voices on these boards.

But the appeal of real life conspiracy theory coupled with the promise of existing within the shadowy fantasy of an episode of the X-Files does little to propel us toward the action needed to spur justice or change.

In fact, the cacophony of so many internet conspiracy theorists clamoring for attention has mostly served to numb the average American, causing him to recede farther into the dark corners of his own unfounded fears.

In lieu of government-sanctioned bogeymen flying aircrafts into our backyards, the eminent conspiracy theorists have provided a dazzling array of monsters to occupy our thoughts: from reptilian overlords, to sinister Jews, to incestuous royal families, to ancient deities, and so forth, the list of imagined nemeses is as impressive as it is startlingly successful at distracting us from the only cures to our society's systemic madness -- reason and fact.

So, it's only natural that after having my mouth caked with the filth, grime, and dust of so many revisionist 9-11 retrospectives, that "Press for Truth" should seem like a cleansing glass of water; not because of the theories it asserts, but due to the facts it has uncovered.

I commend the effort of the producers.

Amen to that.

Clearly the best 9/11 documentary made.
