Is the History Channel Biased ? September 11, 2001 (9.11) (9/11) NYC?

Question

I have been watching the History Channel (HC) a lot latly, mainly because of 9.11 reenactments. I have noticed many contridictions between their own events retelling which is pretty ignorent of them to begin with, because it initiated my suspicion. Example being in one of their shows it was said that no one could have predicted this tragedy, while in another it was said that one of the security chiefs of the north tower was continiously predicting it (since the 93' bombing) and attempting to prevent it. A couple of my friends have been attempting to get me to look into the 9.11 conspiracy theories, for several months, which advocate that the Gov't is behind the disaster. I always disregarded my friends' opinions even after seeing compelling videos. Shortly after watching the HC i looked into it and noticed official reports that are very significant but were not mentioned in the HC.

-question: Who are the funders, CEO and/or directors of HC and how are they affiliated with the Gov't

Answer 1

Many Americans find the government's message much more reassuring than the actual facts. The government's message is: "America is virtuous. Virtuous America was attacked by evil terrorists. America is protecting itself by going to war and overthrowing regimes that sponsor or give shelter to terrorists, erecting in their place democracies loyal to America."

Sugarcoated propaganda doesn't present Americans with the emotional and mental stress associated with the hard facts.


Why you believe what you believe

Experts on the human mind say that humans are convinced to believe things for four principal reasons:

1. You tend to believe most strongly that which you hear first.

2. If you change, it will most likely be to that which you hear repeated many times.

3. You next tend to believe that which you want to believe or that which fits your already conceived ideas or notions.

4. Lastly, humans are least likely to believe that which is logical and makes sense, especially if it contradicts what they hear most!

Interesting, isn’t it? Since the truth serves no one’s purpose and is seldom repeated, most people are left believing only that which serves someone’s purpose. By definition, that means they are left believing a lie. Unless you understand this and guard against it, you will be endlessly confused for most of your life.

The biggest conspiracy theory of them all


The biggest conspiracy theory is that 19 Arabs, who had been under surveillance, conspired together, walked onto four commercial aircraft without being detected, and without having their names appear on a passenger list. Then that they could overcome over 250 people with plastic box-cutters. And not only that, but with no previous experience of flying large jets, they could navigate from 30,000 feet and hit three out of four targets precisely, meantime conducting flying manoeuvres that fighter pilots would find difficult. Then, the amazing thing is that 7 of them survived the events and are known to be alive today.
Also for the first time ever in history, three, not two, but three steel framed buildings collapsed as a result of fire which could not possibly have burned hot enough to melt steel, and caused the buildings not to topple over, as one might expect, or to fall a little at a time, but to fall within their own footprint at the speed of gravity. And one of those buildings (WTC7) was not even hit by a plane.
Not only that, but the four aircraft disappeared completely without a trace of their 16 large engines, or any of the black boxes. This has also never before happened in history.


This theory is so amazingly full of holes that it is impossible for any sane thinking person to believe, yet that is what the official 9/11 commission report.says.

Answer 2

September 11? An illusion at daylight?
I was watching a program about 9/11 event moments ago and it said things that suprised me.I will summarise it for you:
There was a video which was recorded by an American just at the time of the event.This video was not shown in the U.S because it contained evidences which proves that 9/11 event was nothing but a hoax.Most likely it was a dirty terrorist operation organized by the U.S govenment itself to charge a group of innocent people.To attack them.To remove Saddam who did not obey the U.S anymore.To attack countries like Afghanistan and Iraq and steal their energy sources.To do terrible things in the name of fighting terrorism.What are the evidences?here:
Slow motion shows that just before the plane hit the tower there was a light at the collision point INSIDE the tower itself (just before collision).And there was smoke comming up from the BOTTOM of the tower which obviously was not the effect of plane colliding the TOP of the tower.So it could have been a bomb at the bottom of the tower.(this video is a secret one which was sensored in the U.S news).An American standing near the tower has clearly seen that the plane DID NOT have any windows so it COULD NOT have been a passenger plane stolen by immagenary terrorists.Fire fighters who enterd the tower heard the sound of ORGANISED explosions.They were quite sure that there were bombs in there which were planted from before.Have you noticed that tower floors were collapsing in an strange order?One by one?Very neat and clean(organised) work?Ain't it?And slow motion shows that there was a big (missle shaped) object attached to the BOTTOM of the plane.A really complicated job which OBVIOUSLY under-developed countries or stupid Ben Ladden could not have done.Destroying a gigantic building and turning it to dust needs quite a lot of work (at least two months).It needs Complicated calculations done by it's own designers.To calculate which point is suitable to be hit and loads of other things which OBVIOUSLY ....(you know the rest!)
It is time for the U.S people to wake up and see the truth and to get rid of their so called GOVERNMENT.Maybe if I were an American I would be decieved too.But they can see what terrible things their government is doing in the world.So why don't they stop it?Please DO NOT throw stons at me.I like Americans but along with millions of others I hate their government.I am sure there are lots of intelligent people in the U.S who actually know who is guilty.My lip service is:Up with Americans.Down with Bush.

Answer 3

When the media or your President says that "Nobody could have predicted 911" they mean that nobody knew it was going to be planes crashing into buildings. The twin towers had an anti-terrorism team on site after the1993 bombing attempt. It was assumed that terrorists would attack the building again but everyone believed the attempt would fail. The President signed a Whitehouse Brief 4 months before 911 that was titled "Bin Laden intent on attacking in US" presumedly he could have predicted 911 if he wasn't busy fishing at Crawford. Other presidents were aware that terrorists were a threat to the US. I don't see why we were caught be surprise this time.

Answer 4

It's like Wikipedia. The History Channel is just a low-budget medium. It is not peer-reviewed, nor necessarily swept for inconsistencies, anomalies, and personal opinion.

It's entertainment. Better than most even. And, like Wiki, at its best very good. But it's inconsistent. Don't believe everything you read in the papers either.

Answer 5

That's typical conspiracy theorist thinking. The slightest gap in knowledge or inconsistency in the "official" story is evidence of a conspiracy, but yet their conspiracy theories are full of holes you could drive a truck through.

Answer 6

history channel just airs the show produced by different people with different interests. in a democracy all sides are shown then the people decides which to believe.
