It's great to see that Media Matters picked up this issue, they generally seem to be very good at pointing out inconsistencies in reporting:

After mentioning some of the lower tier candidates, Klein ended with Paul, calling his comments regarding 9-11 "weird":

And then there's the libertarian Congressman Ron Paul who seems like your uncle the bartender who has a Big Theory about everything: some of his ideas are brilliant, others weird. He rates a mention because his singular moment of weirdness--proposing that al-Qaeda attacked on Sept. 11 because the U.S. had been messing around in the Middle East, bombing Iraq...

Yet Klein did not mention the 9-11 Commission report, to which Paul referred on the May 16 edition of CNN's The Situation Room.
