Yet it's the most plausible conclusion a rational mind can come to after examining everything.

"in the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility; because the broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods. It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously. Even though the facts which prove this to be so may be brought clearly to their minds, they will still doubt and waver and will continue to think that there may be some other explanation. For the grossly impudent lie always leaves traces behind it, even after it has been nailed down, a fact which is known to all expert liars in this world and to all who conspire together in the art of lying."
People tell little white lies all the time, it's accepted as part of human nature and the way that society moulds us. So therefore people realize that there are lots of little lies going on in politics amongst the politicians they see on tv. People don't, however, think that there could possibly be a much bigger lie going on, like the complete fabrication of a media narrative with background stories, fake victims/perpatrators and social media simulations acting as a witness testimony to the fake event. People don't realize the motives behind such a big lie, so they disregard all possibility that what they see on their tv screens might be a load of codswallop.
The idea that Islamic extremists would become suicide bomber terrorists is ridicilous, there's nothing in their religion that says they should kill themselves and in the process kill others of a different religion. Humans naturally have survival instincts, they aren't just going to kill themselves because their leader told them so, and hi jacking aeroplanes w intention of flying them into the twin towers and killing not only yourself but a load of others, just because of a religious command, is the most preposterous lie i've ever heard. Man flying to other planets back in the 60's and filming it is a close second.
