MSNBC Debuts New Show Starring 9/11 Conspiracy Theorist
MSNBC will debut a new program, Monday, featuring a 9/11 truth conspiracy theorist as a co-anchor. Toure Neblett will be one of the hosts for The Cycle, airing at 3pm on the cable network. Toure (who doesn't use his last name on MSNBC) has tweeted his suspicions about whether the 9/11 terrorist attacks were an inside job.
One entry on Twitter reads: "How could a plane crash into the Pentagon? And not appear on video cameras?? And leave little wreckage??? #Don'tbuyitfiremenow." Another tweet features a paranoid video claiming that the Pentagon was hit by a missile: "This fascinating video raises questions about the Pentagon attack: 757 or missle [sic]? http://bit.ly/12AOlN" Screen shots of these tweets can be found below.
Regarding former green jobs czar Van Jones (whose name appeared in a 9/11 truther website), Toure tweeted, "Van Jones was forced to resign partly bc questions the truth of 9/11 but that Pentagon attack is really fishy..."
Toure has refused repeated attempts via Twitter to explain his 9/11 trutherism. He can be reached here. He has also stopped discussing the subject.
The journalist and author has also indulged in other, more standard conspiracy mongering.
On August 27, 2011, he speculated that a hurricane might be the fault of global warming: "When you talk about an unusual weather event happening in New York and this sort of thing, is this really evidence of global warming to see this sort of a massive storm happening here?"
Considering how angry hosts on MSNBC became over so-called birtherism, it's shocking that the network would give a program to someone who promotes such an outrageous theory.

hires another stupid, ignorant racist black man as a news reader/commentator. I guess one (Al Sharpton) wasnt enough.
So what's news about that? Nobody watches this stupid hate filled network anyway. Luckily Tourette will get relegated to Current TV with all the other BIG stars.
"...it's shocking that the network would give a program to someone who promotes such an outrageous theory. "
Shocking? Par for the course at this Froot Loop network.

Planes are made of aluminum and other light metal alloys.
Buildings are made of steel and concrete.
I know a person who was on the GW parkway and the plane flew directly over her head.at VERY low height.
I know a person who worked in the Pentagon when it was hit.

MSNBC has continued their transformation
Submitted by c5then on Mon, 06/25/2012 - 9:26am.
They are now more of a "reality show" about a liberal, activist, organization that is trying to masquerade as a news channel. Their transformation will be complete when they hire a Kardashian or Paris Hilton or a Victoria's Secret model to be a "host".

One has to wonder what runs thru the minds of the media suits, sitting in a room, discussing
how to fill a time slut, and the end result is garbage like this. I can't recall the source but recall
vividly a cell phone video of the aircraft plunging into the Pentagon. Not that I needed any more
convincing anyway considering all the plane passengers that died. Were they a hoax? Someone
at Comcast needs to take an ax to their programming talent; they are truly the worst in the industry.

What does this Neblett have against Nebletts? Is this another Google conspiracy? Nebletts everywhere should be highly insulted.

that this was ploy by GE and NBC to establish a lib kook cable channel which NBC would then pretend to ignore making them seem like the sane outlet for mainstream news and programming. Mission accomplished! By the way, my GAYDAR needle went off the meter. Whoa!
Every time this guy Toure shows up he exposes himself

as a moron. In a real sense he is an asset to conservatism. He might as well be wearing a clown hat & floppy shoes
The idea that the leaky US govt could have pulled off a fake attack involving a secret cast of thousands and risking the lives of the most powerful officers in the military (i.e. at the Pentagon) is mind bogglingly stupid. There is no other reasonable assessment.
So true...

This wack job is now part of an even bigger conspiracy. I'm privy to the knowledge because I am white. MSNBC was created racist neocons to diminish the Liberal brand.

Pentagon Conspiracy
Submitted by gkstephens on Mon, 06/25/2012 - 4:18pm.
This is all so interestingly nutty. My brother's son-in-law was walking from his car to the Pentagon where he worked at that time. The airliner flew so closely over his head that it forced him to the ground. He saw it from his position on the ground plow into the Pentagon. From there, as a former combat medic, he rushed to the Pentagon and helped remove dozens from the burning explosive rubble. For some absolutely ignorant nut job to spew such conspiracy foolishness flies in the face of commonsense and decency. Let's see, which news group has put him on the air. Oh, I remember. Great job!

The credentials of actually obtaining a job at M-BS-NBC must only consist of being able to breathe and spew rediculous stuff. No wonder only 7 people watch this network.
Nothing new

In the 2004 race, I saw a poll where about 35% of the democrat party believed in some 911 truther theory or another.. The dirty little secret of the democrats is they have a whole faction of their party which is immune to facts and intelligent reasoning.
The hardcore left not only believes in 911 truther conspiracies, they are proud of it.
But they then claim to be the "reality based community"... sure, if your reality consists of making up things to hate your opponents out of whole cloth. A sizeable faction of democrats are mentally disturbed. They usually hang out at kos or the democrat underground. The second one, go there only if you have a strong stomach, they shovel it hip deep and then hand out spoons... the dim underground are simply nuts.
