and a DVD recorder, and I'm putting it to good use, for research purposes.

Anyways, I feel there is some cognitive dissonance going on here: I have a gigantic amount of research material, much of which is from the MSM. History Commons leans on the MSM. NYCCAN and The Building What Campaign rely on MSM. We cheer if Richard Gage has an MSM breakthrough. We can reach people through MSM. The International Center for 9/11 Studies just obtained an enormous amount of MSM footage of Lower Manhattan.

Nate Flach (Xenomorph911WTC) and Arie (11septembervideos) post large amounts of MSM source material on Youtube. Justin Keogh and Arie both created documentary films based on MSM source material. In fact, the MSM contains a treasure trove of research data when properly combed.

This is a double edged sword. So I understand the intent, but I just criticize the MSM, and I watch the MSM through my own filter of healthy skepticism. I read books from Middle Eastern correspondents to wrap my head around what I'm actually seeing when I see reports. It helps to know the world of journalism to be able to properly discern what is groundbreaking and what is bunk. Understanding who and what is behind the source of a news report provides critical context, it provides balance. Fox News is a source which I essentially regard as hostile: it's a network that exists specifically to pump lies into the minds of American citizens and the cumulative effect over years is pure psychological devastation. I see Fox News memes everywhere on the web, on Youtube, in comments... Fox News is the premier purveyor of lies and distortions so outrageous it's tempting to overlook the more subtle deception pandered by the networks that seem 'moderate' in comparison, let alone the "alternative" media. Furthermore, there exist a clear and undeniable symbiosis between GOP congressmen and Newscorp, including financial ties. The Democrats are usually no better, but the Fox - GOP - DoD - MIC relationship is truly something else.

That's why I liked this post by pfgetty and, of course, Danse's documentary. In fact, many documentaries have been made about propaganda, largely examining the "fawning corporate media" as Ray McGovern calls it. You have to read between the lines. All of that said, I owe no allegiance to anybody but the truth, and so I will readjust my convictions to what seems logical, plausible, factual, accurate and sensible. 9/11 truthers have to be careful not to immediately jump on the bandwagon as soon as something 'anomalous' pops up; I want research to be solid and meaningful, not just sensationalist and ... well.. paranoid. A good example of such paranoia is the recent attack on you (What a sick joke), but cognitive biases and flaws occur plenty within our own ranks as well.

Anyways, you'll probably be involved in street action on 9/11 again, good luck to you. And I do apologize for being an ass to you in the past. I let my ego get in the way. You live you learn.

Cheers!

P.S. where would the 'Hit Piece' section on 9/11 Truth News be without the mainstream media? ;-)

but the tv will continue on and on because of the four of us in my family, only I feel as you do. There isn't a snowball's chance in hell that the rest in my house would turn it off for good.

And I'm saying this because that is the way most people in America feel.

We are the odd ones.
If we don't someday get 9/11 truth into the rest of the media, our word simply will not get out.
