So do I. If it were faked, every radio ham in the world would have known instantly - you can fake a communication lag but you can't change the laws of geometry. Triangulation is easy and can't be prevented.
There seems to be a lot of fake evidence, which could just mean that NASA shot some scenes in a studio because it was better quality than the real thing and they wanted to make it look good on television. By analogy, the movie Ben Hur is full of inconsistencies and anachronisms, but that doesn't mean the Roman Empire never existed, does it?
The other, and to me far more likely possibility, is that the fake evidence doesn't come from NASA at all but from the conspiracy theorists themselves: All these incongruities like crosshairs behind the scene and shadows in the wrong place and so forth could easily have been added to genuine footage, especially when you consider that they've only appeared since the required technology to do it has become available to anyone with a computer.
Faking a space mission now is easy, at least for the visual effects, but it wasn't easy in 1969. It wasn't easy in 1978 either, as proven by the laughably unconvincing "Capricorn One". Faking it back then was more difficult than actually doing it.
