"I've just been told there were six Moon landings." What a reporter! I guess Neil Armstrong was never a Baba Wawa Special. 
Whoopi Goldberg first celebrity proponent of moon landing hoax

And Apollo 13 was 'created' as well to generate public interest.
Had it happened, Apollo 18 would've been attacked by Godzilla.

I hope when they remaster TNG they delete her part and computer-edit in someone less... stupid.
How DARE she come out with a public statement like this. She's lost all credibility and value in my eyes.

Watch the clip: it would appear that she's merely interested in conspiracy theories -and has no knowledge whatsoever about the moon landings to begin with.
Someone must've watched that show like the devil reads the bible -as the saying goes. Sorry, but there's no story here.
Capricorn 1?
She probably thinks O. J. Simpson, didn't rob that guy in Vegas or do that other thing.......

I don't get to watch these cackling sows too often but didn't whoopie also say 9/11 was a consipiracy theory or am I making that up?
To paraphrase Buzz;"If ignorance is bliss,they must be very happy".

Her brain may be swimming in a Sea of Tranquility. In fact, it may be drowing in that sea...
I saw her say some of this on TV. She later says that she doesn't really believe it was faked, that she just enjoys conspiracy theories.
I have a conspiracy: movie's try to make her funny, but she's not
Woah, talk about backpedaling. Anybody believe her? I thought not.
She said it in the same conversation. It's not like it was a statement made afterward.
So do I, as a form of entertainment.
I do not, however, go on my national television show and ask dumb questions like "who shot the footage ?" and "why is the flag rippling ?"
The first question is too dumb to answer. The flag rippling was explained on Mythbusters - it was set in motion during the process of unfurling it and the lack of friction prevented it from slowing down.
While it does seem like she could stand to brush up on some of the facts about the moon landing, it looks like she's just posing a "what-if" scenario and explaining the thought processes behind such conspiracy theories; it didn't appear to me that she was expressing the view that it had actually been faked.
Well, even if she had said with certainty that the moon landing was a hoax, it still wouldn't be half as stupid as most of the things that Elisabeth Hasselbeck says.

Mythbusters went after specific, testable, repeatable hoax accusations, all of which were conclusively busted. Of course, they were telling us what anyone likely to actually watch Mythbusters would already know.
"The Man" is also not suppressing the development of free energy technology, anti-gravity technology or any miracle devices that drastically enhance fuel efficiency in cars.

Well, none of the crackpot patented designs they tested worked, that's for sure.
I did watch the clip, thanks. She does mention that she likes conspiracy theories and that they raise good questions (we'll leave it alone that she considers 'Capricorn One' an example of a good conspiracy theory as well as just a Hollywood movie), but then also says that she does have questions herself like who shot the footage of the two astronauts and why is the flag shaking.
There's something horribly wrong when Barbara Walters is the voice of reason and even she doesn't know what she's talking about, like saying the third astronaut was in the capsule on the Moon filming the other two and having to be "just informed" in her ear that there were six manned Moon landings. I mean Christ, she was already an on-air anchor during all of the Moon landings. I'm sure she had to at least write or talk about them on the Today Show at some point.
But this is the show where one host thinks she had a past life, another doesn't know whether the Earth is flat or spherical and doesn't really care, and another thinks it's 6,000 years old. And that's not even getting into past dumbass co-hosts.
