Tax Payer Dollars Go To 9/11 Truther Idiocy
Hack ‘journalist’ Bob McKeown, of the Communist Broadcasting Corporation (Canadian state operated and financed television) hosts a show called The Fifth Estate. In one episode of this series that I came across McKeown examined the validity of 9/11 conspiracy theories. The conclusions drawn on the show’s website are, shockingly, a whole host of moronic rants laden with conspiracy theory drivel – the type usually confined to opium dens and Democratic Party events. Here is one clip that demonstrates how someone masquerading as a credible journalist can be culpable in helping spread outright lies.
In the video McKeown examines a statement from George W. Bush made 3 months after 9/11. In the clip President Bush says:
I was sitting outside the classroom waiting to go in and I saw an airplane hit the tower…
The segment then cuts back to McKeown who states:
Now wait a minute, George bush was told about the second plane while he was inside the classroom so you just heard him describe seeing the first plane crash on television that day. But that’s impossible, no one saw the first plane crash on TV on September 11 because the video of it did not surface until the next day, so how could George bush have seen what he said he saw?
That one really set off the tinfoil hat crew. This is a perfect example of the hoops ‘truthers’ have to jump through to maintain their idiotic theory. If anyone ever misspeaks truthers are there to claim that they have more proof supporting their flat out stupid ideas. As for Mr. McKeown – here’s a hint you twit: maybe President Bush saw the news coverage of the World Trade Center from immediately after the first plane hit. Perhaps the president meant “I saw that an airplane hit the tower.” Or, maybe, just maybe, President Bush confused seeing the footage that day with all the videos he had seen in the intervening THREE MONTHS, seeing as McKeown picked a 15 second clip from three months after 9/11. McKeown has a well documented anti-American, radical left history on the CBC. He also has a propensity for selectively editing interviews to alter answers and disregard context (see: his Ann Coulter interview). Putting aside McKeown’s unprofessional practices, the larger point here is that Canadians are forced to pay a worthless and obscenely liberal network that produces filth like The Fifth Estate. It is far beyond irresponsible for a purported credible news source to peddle this type of conspiracy nonsense.
And those are my thoughts for this weekend.

These people are pathetic. And you’re right, the mental gymnastics they have to go through to get anywhere are exhausting. And let’s not forget, Bush is an utter genius who can carry this off without anyone but the tin foil hat brigade catching on, AND he’s an utter incompetent who can’t find his bottom with both hands and a mirror.
Seriously, though, we’re heading that way, too, where the government owns everything, and all we do is watch progressive liberal radical drivel (they’ve already taken over our schools and media to a large extent, but we’re not yet paying for the latter. Give it time. There’s already buzz of them bailing out the failing and useless print news industry–talk about a waste of time, money, and paper.).
