The Media Response to the Growing Influence of the 9/11 Truth Movement.
Part II: A Survey of Attitude Change in 2009-2010
Abstract
In the past year, in response to emerging independent science on
the 9/11 attacks, nine corporate, seven public, and two independent
media outlets aired analytic programs investigating the official
account.
Increasingly, the issue is treated as a scientific controversy
worthy of debate, rather than as a “conspiracy theory” ignoring science
and common sense.
This essay presents these media analyses in the form of 18 case studies.
Eight countries – Britain, Canada, Denmark, France, the
Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway and Russia – have allowed their
publicly-owned broadcasting stations to air the full spectrum of
evidence challenging the truth of the official account of 9/11.
This more open approach taken in the international media – I
could also have included the Japanese media – might be a sign that
worldwide public and corporate media organizations are positioning
themselves, and preparing their audiences, for a possible revelation of
the truth of the claim that forces within the US government were
complicit in the attacks – a revelation that would call into question
the publicly given rationale for the military operations in Iraq,
Afghanistan, and Pakistan.
The evidence now being explored in the international media may
pave the way for the US media to take an in-depth look at the
implications of what is now known about 9/11, and to re-examine the
country’s foreign and domestic policies in the light of this knowledge.
