This also shows the desire on the part of more people than it should that they want the Apollo Moon landings to have been a government-style plot than reality for a number of reasons.

Spoof moon landing story dupes Bangladeshi newspapers
(AFP) DHAKA - A Bangladeshi newspaper was forced to print an apology
Thursday after running an article that said astronaut Neil Armstrong had
admitted his 1969 moon landing was part of an elaborate hoax.
The story, which first ran on US satirical news website www.theonion.com <http://www.theonion.com> on
Monday, said that Armstrong had been convinced by a conspiracy theorist that
the Apollo 11 mission had been orchestrated by the US government.
The Daily Manab Zamin, which translated the moon story into Bengali and ran
it on Wednesday, attributed the story to the Onion News Network, a web
broadcast put out by The Onion, which also prints a parody newspaper.
"The report has drawn a lot of attention. We've since learned that the fun
site runs false and juicy reports based on a historic incident," said the
Daily Manab Zamin, Bangladesh's only tabloid newspaper.
