Mainstream Media 9/11 'hit-piece' on CBC's 'The National'

Tonight on the CBC National news telecast, reporter/commentator Rex Murphy used his 'Point of View' commentary segment to launch a completely fact-free and transparent smear job directed at those of us who don't believe the official government issued 9/11 conspiracy theory. You know - the one that is refuted by hard facts!



Here is the transcript posted on the CBC website.

Here is the rebuttal I sent off to national@cbc.ca :
Rex Murphy's commentary of Sept. 12 regarding so called 'conspiracy theories' and those who believe them is a poor attempt at an obvious hit piece. He mentions some of the most far-fetched, lunatic fringe 'conspiracy theories' such as aliens - and then works to link belief in alternate theories regarding 9/11 to belief in them. Then he uses the very fringe theory that it was "missiles wrapped in holograms" that hit the WTC rather than planes, ignoring other highly credible fact-based theories, in order to paint all 9/11 theories as crazy. To him, it is absurd that sitting American leaders would plot to attack and kill their own citizens. I guess Rex has never heard of Operation Northwoods. Google it. In his transparent attack piece, he has labeled many much more credible people on this subject than himself as conspiracy cooks, and judging by his tone, as terrible people for even discussing a theory other than the official, government delivered, Swiss cheese version.

What I was basically trying to say, said much better here.
