Der Speigel criticizes German Public TV for 9/11 conspiracy special

it's all here if you want to read it. it's pretty interesting. what stood out to me was this section of the article:
Reality, it appears, no longer exists. Instead, what we have today are only various takes on reality, based on a "general absence of feeling," a circumstance political philosopher Hanna Arendt pointed out in her first book, "Visit to Germany," in 1949. In it, she wrote: "One feels smothered by a general public stupidity, which one cannot trust to correctly judge even the most elementary things..."
this captures a feeling i've had for the longest time.
