9-11 conspiracy film story run on local news

Last evening while watching the 11 o'clock newscast of a local nbc affiliate, we (members of a household) were somewhat dismayed at a story that was given airtime. We understand that one who resides in Western Massachusetts is most likely to be bombarded by every type of leftist extremism imaginable however, this in no way prepares the halfway aware or enlightened individual for the continual onslaught of "fruitloop journalism" by the local media. I've logged an email complaint to the station this morning.

Apparently, someone has their panties in a bunch over the recent success of the film "United 93". (I'm only speculating)

Simply, a three to five minute (what appeared to be eternity) segment was devoted to the showing of "Loose Change 9-11" at a "local mosque". The "journalist" covering this story went on to inform viewers that the film was "free and available on the internet" and that it had already been viewed by over "five million people". A serious interview was given to the films director, Dylan Avery. Mr. Avery, a 22 year old "filmmaker" apparently began the film as a work of fiction and soon changed it to a documentary once he uncovered critical "facts" regarding 9-11. The "journalist" looked grave and impressed during the entire interview.

It could be suggested that the most critical fact Mr. Avery uncovered was that Michael Moore could not get to the bank fast enough and that 9/11 could be considered a "cash cow" by those who hide under the veil of liberalism and spout conspiracy!

What really boggles the mind is the certain fact that this NBC affiliate allowed this non-story to run at all, even on a slow new night, until the reality of media bias in the extreme surfaces. This particular NBC affiliate offers more "editorial news" segments than the ABC affiliate, and the new CBS affiliate is sticking to local news and issues, for now.

The station manager apparently has no shame - no more NBC local news for me, CBS now receives the least biased newscast award in this home and I suspect that given time and increasingly ridiculous stories from other affiliates, CBS will dominate the local market.
