[CitizensTruth] 9/11 Truth on TV Tuesday night

[Connie Smith]

from the New York Times:
...a story line that returns the series to its painful origins, 9/11.

In Season 5 of "Rescue Me," Tuesday night on FX, the specter of 9/11 becomes a major character once again, when a French journalist starts interviewing the firefighters about their experiences for a commemorative book. 

This season one major character will become seriously ill with cancer apparently caused by his work at Ground Zero. 

Another character, Franco Rivera (Daniel Sunjata) will articulate his Internet-fueled belief that 9/11 was "an inside job," the result of "a massive neoconservative government conspiracy" that was designed to increase American power by creating a pretext for seizing control of the world's oil supplies - a view Mr. Sunjata himself happens to share. 

Early word of that plotline has already caused some lively News Corporation anti-synergy between FX and Fox News, where the commentator Greg Gutfeld furiously said it was tantamount to giving airtime to "the crazy guy on the subway."

(Hard to believe everybody doesn't KNOW by now!  Connie)

The reason we wrote it," Mr. Tolan said, "is that Danny was spouting this stuff and even some of the guys, the firefighters on the set, were saying 'What is this?' " (They, of course, phrased it more strongly.) "We saw how divisive this was and thought: We have to do this."

Mr. Sunjata admits to some trepidation about how the show's audience will react to the story line. "I won't say that my opinions were warmly received on the set," he said. "At one point I thought, 'Maybe I'll get fired if I keep opening my mouth.' But even though Peter and Denis didn't sign on to this conspiracy, they were brave enough to include it in the show. I give them and FX and Fox - I never thought I'd say this - a big round of applause."
