Lazy journalism. The sarcastic critique is just too easy.
Taking the sarcasm out of it and you're left with the important question he was raising. Forget snippets of information that 'don't add up', what DID happen? If it was a conspiracy then there must have been a plan, a plan that worked with unairing accuracy. What was it? The twin towers, the Pentagon, Shanksville, the planes, the missile, the bombs, the collapses, a conspiracy theorist would argue all of these were part of the plot. What plot? Why make it so complex? Why bother with the Pentagon and Shanksville, wouldn't the twin towers be enough? Why blow up the towers, did they really need to collapse to make us 'feel' the seriousness of the issue? If there was a bomb/bombs why bother with the planes in the first place? Why use a missile for the Pentagon when planes were used at the twin towers?
There are far too many questions that conspircay theorists simply can't answer for a conspiracy to be even remotely possible.
