The Makers of Loose Change to appear on The View - May 24th

Per the Alex Jones Show and ABC programming. 9/11 hero William Rodriguez and the makers of Loose Change will appear on The View, Thursday May 24th.

Loose Change Creators on The View May 24th - watchingtheview.com

According to a release from ABC, Korey Rowe and Dylan Avery, creators of the 9/11 conspiracy documentary Loose Change will appear on the May 24th show. Also listed is William Rodriguez, who was a janitor at the North Tower of the World Trade Center, who has since become part of the 9/11 truth movement. The only other guests listed for that date are the winners of Dancing With the Stars, so it appears that the show will not have representatives from both sides of the topic. Rosie O’Donnell has said before that we have been hearing the other side for years, so maybe the show will only cover the topic from one angle. However, since the show line-up often goes through changes before the show is taped, it is possible that they might be adding additional guests. It is also possible that they might have the other side in another segment on a different day.

If you are unfamiliar with the documentary, it is available on YouTube.

Dear Ro, I would love to see a show with experts on both sides to discuss WTC7.Silly to always talk about it but never realy pursue the truth once and for all, don’t you think? Please?

the show has been booked

Update from prisonplanet.com:

We have now come to understand that prominent 9/11 film makers and other activists within the movement are scheduled to appear on The View in upcoming weeks, as well as debunkers like Popular Mechanics, but that the two camps will appear on separate shows and not engage in a debate of any kind.

Expect a week long orgy of ad hominem attack pieces from Neo-Con attack dogs like O'Reilly, Hannity and the rest of the usual suspects.

Leo, Rosie make Time's most influential

Leo, Rosie make Time's most influential

Heartthrob Leonardo DiCaprio and envelope-pushers Rosie O'Donnell and Sacha Baron Cohen are among the entertainment newsmakers on Time magazine's list of 100 people who shape the world.

The list of 100 most influential, on newsstands Friday, also includes Queen Elizabeth II, presidential hopefuls Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama (news, bio, voting record), YouTube founders Steve Chen and Chad Hurley, director Martin Scorsese and model Kate Moss. It does not include President Bush.

In a piece she wrote for the magazine, Barbara Walters, the creator of "The View," had kind words to say about O'Donnell, who announced last week she was leaving the ABC talk show in June because she and the network couldn't agree on a new contract.

"And so, last September, we began a thrilling roller-coaster ride," Walters wrote. "We followed Rosie's passion and compassion, her feuds and fearlessness, her humanity and humor."

Walters said she and O'Donnell "remain respectful and affectionate friends."

The View will not discuss WTC7

According to today's entry on Rosie O'Donnell's blog, The View will not have WTC 7 experts on.

Toronto Star media critic: Rosie fired for asking tough questions about 9/11

I don't necessarily agree that Rosie got "The Boot", however, great article in a mainstream paper!! You can contact the author at azerbis[at]thestar.ca.

Big thanks to Simuvac and Arnie from www.toronto911truth.ca for the scoop...

Antonia Zerbisias, the Toronto Star media critic, writes the following in today's edition:

Last Wednesday, in the immediate aftermath of the announcement that dominated the American news agenda and cycle for days, CNN's Larry King was in hot pursuit of the story.

Rude, lewd, crude Rosie O'Donnell was leaving ABC's daytime talk show The View.

Naturally, King was obligated to seek out The Combover Which Talks, Donald Trump.

"She's a disgusting person," said Trump, who has been trading insults with O'Donnell since January. "She's a slob."

Then he called for censorship.

"Sadly, after the Don Imus thing, people are going to have to be, I guess, more careful as to what they're saying," he said, as if the former MSNBC morning man's racist, sexist "nappy-headed hos'' line equals grabbing your crotch and saying "Eat me'' to The Ego Who Walks.

"Insisting that O'Donnell had been fired instead of being unable to come to a contract agreement, Trump said O'Donnell was an 'embarrassment to this country.''' That's because she had latched on to the growing '9/11 Truth Movement,' which dismisses the official story about the 2001 terrorist attacks.

Tom DeLay Says Rosie Must Go

Tuesday, April 17, 2007

This is a partial transcript from "The O'Reilly Factor," April 16, 2006, that has been edited for clarity.

Watch "The O'Reilly Factor" weeknights at 8 p.m. and 11 p.m. ET and listen to the "Radio Factor!"

BILL O'REILLY, HOST:

In the "Impact" segment tonight, former Congressman Tom DeLay also got blasted by Rosie O'Donnell today.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

ROSIE O'DONNELL, CO-HOST, "THE VIEW": I think we're in dangerous territory when people like Tom Delay, a man of high moral standards, when people like Tom DeLay want me to be fired for my political opinions. That's a dangerous state of affairs here in democracy.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

O'REILLY: All right. Tom DeLay's new book is called "No Retreat, No Surrender". And he joins us now from Houston. I'm sorry you had to be insulted by that woman. I think she's now obviously out of control. And ABC's got a big problem. If you were the CEO of the Disney Company, Michael Iger, what would you do?

Paula Zahn Equates 9/11 Truth With Hate Speech

On last night's Paula Zahn Now on CNN, the entire show was focused on the Don Imus debacle. Within that show, however, they had a small segment about outspoken celebrities and whether they should "shut up" or not. It went a little something like this...

1. Mel Gibson gets drunk and says Jews are the source of all evil in the world.

2. Kramer from Seinfeld, Michael Richards, goes crazy in a comedy club and routinely uses the word "nigger" to blacks in his audience in order to make them feel inferior.

3. Ann Coulter says she can't talk about John Edwards lest she use the word "faggot" to describe him.

4. Rosie O'Donnell claims explosions caused WTC7 to fall, rather than planes.

If anyone has the resources to dig up a clip of the segment, it would be greatly appreciated. I was expecting them to bring Rosie up, but a small part of me thought it would be too pathetic for even the mainstream media to do. I guess I was wrong.

Deniers of 9/11 and of the Holocaust Are Two of a Kind

Deniers of 9/11 and of the Holocaust Are Two of a Kind

25 Nisan 5767, 13 April 07 12:51

by Steven Zak

(IsraelNN.com) It is a given that television networks put profits above pride, but ABC has reached a new low in its sponsorship of Rosie O'Donnell. The daytime talk show host recently joined the world of "truthers" - people who believe that 9/11 was an attack staged by America's own government.

On ABC's popular The View, O'Donnell lent her expert opinion that it is impossible for the World Trade Center's building 7 "to fall the way it fell without explosives being involved." To say otherwise, she added, "is beyond ignorant." (When she isn't offering instruction on the fine points of structural engineering, O'Donnell entertains by hanging upside-down from a rope.)

Let's tally the slurs Bill O'Reilly has hurled at Rosie O'Donnell: She's "Tokyo Rosie," "siding with Iran," "rooting for Iran" and "helping the enemy" while "actively supporting Iran against her own country and Britain."

Wow. What has O'Donnell done? Did she supply rocket launchers to terrorists? Not quite.

"Rosie O'Donnell is saying that our country, America, all right, attacked itself to launch the war on terror," O'Reilly has said, among other things.

Wrong. O'Donnell very clearly said she doesn't believe the U.S. government had anything to do with 9/11.

9-11 Truth on The View. Rosie O: Another Unexpected Hero.

by Timothy Riley

http://www.opednews.com

The Truth will not change. Perception of the Truth continuously grows. While Rosie may not get www.911Truth.org on the View, some great nuggets of truth have been leaking out to the people

Rosie O'Donnell is a small test case for the 9-11 Truth movement. If right-wing pressure succeeds in getting Rosie villainized, kicked off the View, and blacklisted for simply asking questions about what really happened on September 11th, then it could have a chilling effect on some other Truth tellers and embolden the real rightwing enemies of freedom and liberty.

Help the turning tide now. Support the 9-11 Truth Movement to clue in the mainstream. Call and write ABC Disney to protect Rosie from falling victim to the political hacks planted inside that corporate behemoth. Here is an easy petition link to http://keeprosie.com/.

Jones Report: O'REILLY: ROSIE STORY IS HUGE (But 9/11 Claims Aren't)

O'REILLY: ROSIE STORY IS HUGE (But 9/11 Claims Aren't)

Pundit Master 'Exposes' Media "Cabal" That Refuses to Report

Aaron Dykes / JonesReport | April 6, 2007

O'Reilly's latest installment of attacks against Rosie O'Donnell-- in response to her yet-to-be-addressed 9/11 claims-- have now reached the point of becoming definitively ludicrous.

He attempts to link-- fallaciously-- a "lack of coverage" over Rosie O'Donnell's 9/11 statements (after weeks of continuous coverage on The Factor) with lack of coverage on issues with illegal aliens. As thousands of stories go under-reported every day, there is no meaningful link here, though one is certainly implied. Meanwhile, O'Reilly portrays himself as a righteous defender-- policing the press and defending border issues.

Guest Bernie Goldberg also attempts to associate Rosie and her statements with insane hypothetical racist statements.

PUNDIT MASTER Bill O'Reilly-- who asserts his 'domination over cable news' during commercial lead-ins-- claims that Rosie is a "HUGE STORY" SUPRESSED BY A MEDIA "CABAL" THAT REFUSES TO REPORT -- but the story is not on her remarks on 9/11 but rather the rhetoric question: has Rosie gone too far? ...

AlterNet covering Rosie O’Donnell and WTC 7

Joshua Holland has written a snide piece carefully bending the truth in an attempt to maintain the government myth.

Please come over and comment. The more the merrier. Everytime AlterNet runs a 9/11 piece it tops their most commented list and the comments run pro-Truth in greater numbers each time.

Rosie Has Become the Right's Latest Strawlib

Yet another Rosie blog on HuffPo, this time from Steve Young, a prolific HuffPo blogger.  If your fingers still flex after this past week, there is truth to be spread in the comment section and encouragement to be given to the author.

Rosie Has Become the Right's Latest Strawlib 

Kudos to these patriots. None of that vicious gay bashing you'll get from a Michael Savage. No, this is more important than just slamming sexuality. Even more important than how Anna Nicole's passing affected our lives. This was about a comedienne on ABC's "The View" who is trying take down America by challenging the particulars of 9/11. Ladies and gentleman, I warn you. This isn't Carrot Top. Not someone who starred in the classic "Chairman of the Board." This is someone who fielded her position all too well in "A League of Their Own."

Raw Story: "Rosie pledges allegiance to seeking 'truth' about 9/11"

http://rawstory.com/news/2007/Rosie_pledges_allegiance_to_seeking_911_0402.html

 

Rosie pledges allegiance to seeking 'truth' about 9/11 despite mocking attacks from right

Despite an avalanche of criticism from the right, talk show host Rosie O'Donnell is pressing on with her calls for continued investigation of the events surrounding September 11.

At her eponymous blog, O'Donnell devotes "2 whole paragraphs" to the controversial topic.

"9/11 affected me deeply, as I know it did many Americans," O'Donnell blogs. "The falling of the twin towers served to remind me that many of the assumptions Americans have about their lives are rooted in false feelings of security. In light of this reminder, I have begun doing exactly what this country, at its best, allows for me to do: inquire. Investigate. America is great in so many ways, one of which is the freedom to speak, and indeed think, freely. I have, of late, begun exercising the rights bestowed upon me by the democratic system I value, and the exercising of these rights has taken the form of an inquiry into what happened five years ago, an inquiry that resists the dominant explanations and that dares to entertain ideas that push me to the edge of what is bearable. I have come to no conclusions and, given the scope of the subject, will not for some time."

Popular Mechanics Fact-Checks Rosie On WTC Conspiracy Theory

ETP Staff | Posted Monday April 2, 2007 at 10:59 AM

While the Trump Affair is (finally) a thing of the past, Rosie continues to flex her well-defined muscles for sparking controversy. Last week the outspoken View star claimed, in response to a question from co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck about the validity of 9/11 conspiracy theories, that, while she didn't know what to believe about the U.S. government's involvement, she did believe that "it's the first time in history that fire has ever melted steel. I do believe that it defies physics that World Trade Center tower 7--building 7, which collapsed in on itself--it is impossible for a building to fall the way it fell without explosives being involved." Enter Popular Mechanics, which had previously compiled reports by physicists and demolition experts for its 2006 book "Debunking 9/11 Myths." The mag quickly fired back on its blog, refuting every one of her claims in detail. Highlights are as follows:

AOL News: Rosie Opens 9/11 Conspiracy 'View' Debate.

Rosie Opens 9/11 Conspiracy 'View' Debate
Bill O'Reilly Implies ABC Should Fire O'Donnell After Remarks
AOL

http://news.aol.com/entertainment/tv/articles/_a/rosie-opens-911-conspir...

(March 31) - Rosie O'Donnell has never been one to shy away from speaking her mind, but her latest controversial topic of conversation on 'The View' brought up a taboo that most daytime talk shows would never go near – the possibility of a conspiracy on 9/11.

On Thursday’s show, during a discussion on the war on terror and the prospect of war in Iran, O’Donnell veered into the theory that World Trade Center 7, which fell hours after the Twin Towers, was possibly destroyed purposely by explosives.

Rosie's 9/11 Claims - How Do They Stack Up?

These comments refer to an article in Inside Edition: http://www.insideedition.com/ourstories/inside_stories/story.aspx?storyi...

From the article:

James Meigs, editor in chief of Popular Mechanics said as much as 25% of the building was scooped out by the falling debris. He added, "There were intense fires that burned inside the building that weakend the steel frame."

OK, let's look at what Meigs is saying:

1) As much as 25% of the building was scooped out by falling debris.
--There is no photo anywhere in the public realm showing 25% damage to this building.
--Even if Meigs' statement were completely true, such damage would cause the building to topple over to the side, not collapse at free-fall speed straight down.

Two heroes of darin', one fightin' for Erin
And one for Americay

O'Reilly and Hanitty, where is their sanity
Flag-wavin' is all they can do
Perfidious traitors and collaborators
They can't hold a candle to you

Rosie, you're one of our kind, we want you to speak your mind
About 9/11 and Building 7
We know that explosions caused all that implosion
Never before, now or of yore
Did steel buildings fall by fire
So by whose volition, controlled demolition
Did they turn into dust and a funeral pyre?

You're fighting for reason, exposing the treason,
We're sick of their lies and their war
If it ever gets out, the true crimes of those louts
There'll be heaven to pay and much more

Rosie you're beautiful, truthful and dutiful
We're proud that you're standin' your ground
We'll teach them some manners who fly the false banners

John Gibson and Michelle Malkin Whip Up Frenzy Over Rosie O'Donnell and ABC

Thanks, WISDOM.

John Gibson and Michelle Malkin Whip Up Frenzy Over Rosie O'Donnell and ABC

Reported by Deborah - March 30, 2007

Bill O'Reilly started a campaign last night to have Rosie O'Donnell fired from The View, ABC, for expressing her opinions on Iran and 9/11. This morning at 6 AM, Donald Trump was already quoting O'Reilly almost verbatim on The Imus Show demanding that ABC fire O'Donnell. So of course, John Gibson continued the fire Rosie campaign today with noxious Michelle Malkin who added Barbara Walters to the FOX News list of the currently unclean who must be punished. 3/30/07

Malkin thought that ABC should be held accountable for O'Donnell's comments but claimed there were too many like minded people in ABC management to do anything about Rosie O'Donnell. Gibson speculated that ABC wants O'Donnell to say these things.

Media Matters Ignores Right Wing Attacks on Rosie O'Donnell

Another indication of media blackout on 9/11 issues:

Media Matters has failed to report on any of the recent "conservative" media's feeding frenzy on Rosie O'Donnell and their vitriolic attacks on her First Amendment rights, which include calling for her dismissal and execution. Media Matters just this week published a blog on the site defending the repulsive Ann Coulter: http://www.opednews.com/maxwrite/page.php?a=32662

With any other topic, Media Matters would have sent out press releases, blogged, and posted the information on their front page. They routinely monitor all Fox broadcasts and other Administration stenographic media personalities, calling them on misinformation, unprofessional conduct, and the like. According to their webpage:

AOL is holding their own Poll "view" of the Rosie/O'Reilly debate

There is a link from the Huffington Post to a "Rosie Opens 9/11 Conspiracy 'View' Debate - AOL News" link. There you can vote on these two questions:

"Should ABC fire Rosie, as O'Reilly implies?"
Results so far: Yes, she crossed the line 65%, No, It's free speech, 35%, total votes:123,238

"What do you think of this debate?"
Results so far: It's a ratings stunt, 60%, It's a valid one, 40%, Total Votes: 151,871

I think we all need to partake in this "poll" clearly, most of this side of the debate doesn't hang out at the AOL site.
