CPT's Coverage of Loose Change

A little more fair and balanced than the last time around; the debunkers get in some pretty good points. Note that Screw Loose Change (the movie) is mentioned at the very end. They do let the Waterboy get away with his claim to be a whistle-blower, and the materials given away to donors are skewed strongly to the crackpot version with only the Popular Mechanics book representing the rational side.

Both Sides Now

Colorado Public TV is broadcasting Loose Change AAC on December 4th. They note that their prior broadcasts of Press for Troof and Blueprint for Troof caused some controversy:

Some of the feedback included complaints about the program breaks and our in-studio guests – that the station was only presenting a one-sided view that supported the alternative theories of the “Truth Movement” or “Truthers.”

So they're going to provide arguments from both sides this time around. I guess:

These program breaks will include multiple viewpoints – both for and against the film's content. Guests will include Kevin Ryan, a 911 Whistleblower, plus a representative for the official story of 9/11. Additionally, we will air a range of comments from people in the community, comments from filmmakers Dylan Avery and Korey Rowe, and others.

Errr, a representative for the official story? Who might that be? The post does include a link to Debunking 9-11, so it may be that Kate is going to be there, in which case I'm satisfied. But is it too much to expect that this representative be named beforehand?

Colorado Democrats Go Nutter

They've included a 9-11 "Truth" plank in their party platform:

“Whereas many disturbing facts were consciously ignored by the 9/11 Commission; Be it resolved, therefore, that the CDP calls for the establishment of a truly independent Grand Jury and public investigation into these and other anomalies in order to find the truth of the September 11, 2001 attacks, so that we have a greater probability of preventing attacks of this nature in the future.”

Note this background:

The citizens who presented arguments for a new investigation at their precinct caucuses are signatories to the Architect and Engineers for 9/11 Truth organization (www.ae911truth.org) which calls for a new investigation into the events of September 11, 2001.

Crackpots with Box Boy Gage's group, in other words.

Denver Crackpots Get On PBS

By volunteering a few folks to sit and man the phonebanks during the pledge drive:

The station was asking for groups and business's to bring 10 or more people in to the studios to answer phones for the Spring pledge drive. In return, the station would give publicity to the group or business by 1) announcing the name of the group on the air 3-4 times for every hour the group is answering phones, 2) conducting a 1-2 minute interview with select members of the group, 3) panning the cameras at our group during on air fund raising (can you say 9-11 T-shirts???), and 4) FEEDING US!

Would they allow a neo-Nazi group of Holocaust Deniers on PBS just because they agreed to field calls from donors? Boo to KBDI, Channel 12 in Denver!
