Of course, the talking heads on the idiot tube yesterday morning were all frothing at the mouths over this issue as well - except one. A guest on the C-SPAN morning show, Peter Jennings was taking calls from listeners; most of the ones I caught were conspiracy theories dealing w/ 911, etc., (the callers sounded like a bunch of well-informed, Jeff Rense-type listeners, one right after the other - you could tell that the host was getting pissed) and SURPRISINGLY Jennings didn't dismiss them with the usual ad hominem attacks and other BS fallacies the media often use. Instead he seemed to enjoy them - even said as much at one point. And when the host was trying to smear the callers as nutty conspiracy theorists who should be ignored, Jennings pointed out that he was in the media business long enough to have seen far too many things he initially dismissed as BS, turned out to be true, so he tries to keep an open mind. The entire time he was on, he did. Pleasant surprise, to say the least. Every time the C-SPAN host tried to get Jennings to denounce or ridicule conspiracy theory (which he did on several occasions), Jennings left him hanging. No shit. Seems that Jennings was sleeping through Bush's 911 speech at the UN, "Let us never tolerate outrageous conspiracy theories concerning the attacks of September the 11th" - either that, or he just flipped 'em the bird. <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/";>www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
