Credibility:
9/11 conspiracy theorists love to cite "convenient coincidences" to add credibility to their claims, often culling disparate facts to form a whole argument. Many will mention political, business, or family ties that a publication or author has in order to discredit their evidence or lump them in as part of the conspiracy itself. This section contains references about the credibility of multiple figures or organizations in the 9/11 denier movement.

-American Free Press
American Free Press is a weekly newspaper published in the US. It is extremely anti-Semitic, pro 9/11 inside job and classified as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center. The Anti-Defamation League has also criticized the paper for their linking of members of the Jewish community to 9/11.
