NBC News remained silent on Wednesday about MSNBC host Joy Reid amid new revelations that she once wrote blog posts raising questions about the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks that echo “truther” conspiracy theories.



quote:

The latest series of controversial comments, first reported by BuzzFeed News, involve Reid’s apparently favorable comments about an infamous “truther” documentary called “Loose Change 9/11.” The 2005 film (the first in a series) makes the widely discredited claim that it was the U.S. government, instead of al-Qaeda terrorists, that plotted to attack the Pentagon and bring down the World Trade Center towers.


quote:

Reid’s old blog (“Reidblog”) from her time as a local broadcaster in south Florida, linked to a Web video of the film in March 2006, and added this comment: “The fundamental question is: do you believe the official story of 9/11? If you do, great. If you don’t, then everything that happened after that is called into serious question. Even if you’re agnostic, or you tend to believe that al-Qaida attacked the World Trade Center and Pentagon and that the government had no warning such a thing could happen, it’s worth taking a second look.”

What's so offensive about raising questions about 9/11?

Never said there was anything wrong with it. I think it's kind of comical that one of the left's own political pundits has similar views to 9/11 as Alex Jones.

The quote doesn't even say she believes it. She said the movie was worth watching. That is not the same thing as "believing what Alex Jones belives". I think we'll go ahead and call this a melt.

Trump’s tweet yesterday didn’t target any specific individual. Now it has minds exploding and everyone spinning like a top.

I love it.

Spin it however you want. She promoted the video on her blog and told her readers to watch it.

And saying someone looks like a character from Planet of the Apes doesn't necessarily equate to racism, but damn if it's not a bad look.

fox this needs to keep on going and reach a point where people are getting fired for even stuff like a facial gesture they made on tv

only then will the purge reach its logical conclusion.
