There is nothing wrong with questioning things but if you don't think anything on TV is legit then you just need to turn the thing off. I also think you should keep in mind,when you question things like this, that you could be wrong and the people in question could be genuine. You should always approach information like it could be wrong. There is always another possible option. I find it odd that I am being painted as an "enemy of truth" or something.
As I said of course you should question the source. People often yell loudly that we should question mainstream news media then they post an article from "filthyjewsdiditall.com" and say nothing. I think it is good to be skeptical but a level head and balanced perspective is great. I always remember many years ago I was debating with people on 911 and their questions helped a lot. I mean the people who questioned the conspiracy I was putting forward by the way.
The only reason I ask is that you seem to be condemning people who are doing precisely this. I'm not painting you as an enemy of anything. I definitely agree with you regarding sources.
I would be interested to speak to people who question the 'conspiracy' angle regarding 9/11, but are genuinely sceptical. Absolutely every single one that I've encountered without exception placed 'conspiracy theories' regarding 9/11 under absolutely huge scrutiny, refusing to accept that anyone questioning the official narrative had ever made even one legitimate point, no matter how desperate and specious their responses to them became, and almost without exception resorting to personal insults very quickly indeed. But did no such thing with regards to any official information, in fact they did everything they could to buttress their psychological reliance on it being absolutely correct, and even reached the point where they would question any form of scepticism about the official theory and investigation, even refusing to accept that it was inappropriate for the Bush administration to appoint Kissinger to the head of the 9/11 Commission, which even the New York Times criticised them for doing. I found them without exception to be the polar opposite of sceptical.
