Hoagland claims debunked
I actually feel a bit sorry for the guy. To waste your life on crazy conspiracy theories is quite sad. As an example he accuses NASA of deliberately doctoring photos of the Martian sky to make it look red. But NASA actually describes the issues of color correction in regards to its photos and describes how to correct the colors. It's hardly a coverup or conspiracy:

Still are. Most folks who have looked into it beyond what the ordinary media has parroted have found the conclusions to be mightly shaky. That's what happens when you pick and choose what you want to include in your "study." Hoagland is king of taking tiny bits of data like Legos and building a huge, nutty theory out of them. Now that he's running out of steam with the Mars Face stuff, he needs something else to stoke the boiler.

"Colored photos from Viking and Pathfinder were doctored to make the Martian sky look red. The first images of Mars actually looked like Arizona with blue skies, but NASA wants us to think that Earth is the only place for life, said Hoagland. "
The reason that Earth has a blue sky is the fact that the earths surface is 70% water. It's our oceans that make our sky look blue. Therefore Mars with no oceans and just red dust, has a red atmosphere.
I hope he's not next going to claim that a great percentage of mars' surface is covered in water? But im sure John Lear could step in and say that without any evidence to back that up.

When there are no dust storms, the sky on Mars is blue.
I'm not doubting that there is *some* oxygen in the martian atmosphere but in the absence of vast amounts of what it takes to produce oxygen and consume the byproducts of things that use it (eg vegetation processing carbon dioxide) there can't be much (if any) life cycle going on there.
