'9/11 was an inside job' and 'Save us from Freemasons and Global government' are the type of articles expected in the National Enquirer, not a normal newspaper.
All we are missing are the articles on the second, or even third, gunmen on the grassy knoll in Dallas or faked moon landings.
Why give him space for his views?
Then we have the sensational headlines for the non-scientist. 'Mobile phones more dangerous than smoking'. This is one scientist's article.
It will, of course, be followed by lots of letters from the other fringe scientists and their supporters and the technophobes and the rent a protester groups.
By all means report these things.
But give it balance.
Don't just tuck what the mainstream and majority say in the last five lines of the report, far removed from the sensationalist headline. When our climate change sceptical Environment Minister Sammy Wilson is given space to air his views there should be a full balance, otherwise some people will just believe what he says.
Similarly with our many Creationist and Intelligent Design believing ministers and their colleagues. Give real science a break for once.

Mr McCluggage, please avail yourself of the facts of what happened on that day before delivering your myopic diatribe. Instead of making silly associations with Lunar Landings etc, try to concentrate on the numerous events unanswered from 9/11, and the laws of physics which do not allow three structures to fall in near realtime zero-gravity, 10secs 10secs and 6 secs respectively.
I do understand it is a hard, indeed upsetting, step to discover that you have been fed lies by the Government and established media, but simply open your eyes to not rumour, but FACTS, and please try to think for yourself.
Thanks
