The History channel's 9/11 documetary
The latest hit piece against the 9/11 Truth Movement aired on The History Channel this past Monday. The program went through various events that occurred on September 11, 2001 in a fashion of introducing a "claim" followed by "expert" response. The majority of "expert" response was supplied by Davin Coburn and James Meigs of Popular Mechanics, which is owned by Hearst Publishing (Hearst Publishing is also part owner of The History Channel), which set the standard in Yellow Journalism. Replies from such "experts" did not include any solid rebuttal. It is no surprise that the only "experts" they interviewed were titled as such when in support (read: making excuses) for the government story. The experts who question the government story were instead referred to as "Conspiracy Theorists" and were either given very little airtime to present their research and/or concerns, had details edited out, or were omitted from the program altogether.

1. Have you noticed the plethra of terrorist shows, Middle East, Saddam
and al-qeada shows the History Channel and History Channel International channels are showing. You can't go to them without some of those subjects showing up. Makes me ill.

2. My personal favorite...

...was the recent one on Discovery or THC or some similar "documentary" network about how the Book of Revelations may have actually been a prediction of the current situation in Iraq. Oh, that's all right then, as long as the chaos we're causing is Bibically preordained.

And I thought the "paranormal" crap that fills so much of the schedule was the lowest they could go.

It was darn boring and didn't make a whole lot of sense. I am glad I missed the Revelation crap.
