BBC Pressured to Air 9/11 Hit Piece?
Crane claims two different versions exist, former Fox exec demanding attack dogs released to prevent harm to American market

The BBC has produced two versions of its documentary on 9/11, one being a balanced example of investigative journalism and the other a sophisticated hit piece. According to a leading UK 9/11 truth activist, recently appointed US chief Garth Ancier is pressuring the corporation to air the version that portrays the 9/11 truth movement as a fringe cult of mythology in a bid to protect BBC's American market.

Yesterday we reported on the allegations of those interviewed for the show that the documentary was set to be a debunking effort, with the intention of relegating important questions in favor of nebulous and damaging theories. This story garnered massive readership after being featured on the front page of Digg, a user generated content phenomenon that gets more traffic than the Drudge Report.

In a follow up story, we highlighted how the BBC was using promotional material, including a psychological conspiracy test and an interview with X Files producer Frank Spotnitz, to imply that 9/11 truthers were borderline cult members with psychological problems.

In a new development, Ian R. Crane, Chairman of the 9/11 Truth Campaign for the UK and Ireland, and a former BBC staffer, claims a source told him that producers Mike Rodin and Guy Smith have edited two different versions of the show and are in a quandary as to whether to air the balanced piece or the hit piece.

Crane's claims are printed in full at the Cremation of Care website.

It appears that the dilemma is a direct result of the phenomenal reaction to the recent flurry of 9/11 related items appearing in the National Media," writes Crane. "The debate kicked off with the publication of George Monbiot’s ill-researched hit-piece on Loose Change, the most downloaded video in the history of Google Video. Any casual observer perusing the responses posted on the Guardian website, could not fail to notice that the remarkable difference in style between those who leapt to the defence of the Official Conspiracy Theory (OCT) and those were seeking answers to the glaring anomalies between the OCT and the physical evidence. The vapid vitriol from the defenders of orthodoxy was no match for the measured curiosity of the Truth seekers."

In addition, Crane cites the UK Daily Mail article as another example of a fair hearing for 9/11 truth and one that angered those with a stake in maintaining the official myth. Yet another large British newspaper, Scotland's Herald, also today featured a positive write up of the 9/11 truth movement.



Crane claims that the new head of the BBC's commercial operations in the US, former Fox senior executive Garth Ancier (pictured above), is the point man in persuading program directors to air the hit piece, fearing that a more balanced appraisal would anger corporate partners and sales across the Atlantic.

"Newly responsible for the marketing of BBC productions in the US, Ancier is no doubt claiming that he will not be able to maximize revenues if the BBC is seen to be running programmes, however balanced, intimating that 9/11 might have been an inside job. From personal experience of operating within the US industrial complex, it is not beyond the realms of probability that Ancier is waving mega$ incentives if the Beeb agrees to run the hit-piece. As Princeton graduate and an initiate of the Phi Beta Kappa fraternity, serious pressure will be being put on Ancier to get the Beeb to ‘play ball’," writes Crane.

If past examples are anything to go by, it's likely that the hit piece will be chosen because the previous installment in the series, an investigation into questions surrounding the death of Princess Diana, was widely acknowledged as a whitewash that toed the official line.

Besides the X Files interview and the psychological test, BBC's promotional material for the show has been both extensive and reasonably balanced. A summary article of the 9/11 truth movement lent implicit credibility to 9/11 skeptics, and an online unedited clip of Alex Jones and Jim Marrs at Dealy Plaza was absent the usual condemnation and ridicule seen in mainstream coverage many times before.

The fact that the promotional trailers do not prominently feature any debunkers (besides a poorly spoken woman who is presumably used to rubbish the Jewish conspiracy angle), suggests that the show will either be a fair representation or the more likely scenario, that the BBC will employ the familiar tactic of using a sneering female narrator to arrogantly attack the carefully edited words of the skeptics and obsessively focus on tenuous issues while ignoring the hardcore evidence.

I think the BBC will say MOSSAD did it and surprise us all...






















not

[Headhunter]

Yep. Hit piece.

Check out the links upper right, and the whole damn thing.

BBC - covering up the 9/11 atrocity.

It will backfire on them big time.

All they've done is to create a FOIL against which we'll be able to roll the truth out even further.

And don't forget. LCFC soon to be released in UK theaters (at least 70 of them).

Message from IronSnot:

[Snowygrouch]

It would be nice if people actually emailed me to ask questions before posting slander everywhere.

I`ve had quite enough of this c**p.

I see in spite of my work over the past year; people get one email from the very guy who put together this doc saying "I`m right trust me" and you all bow down and say "ah that Calum...always knew he was full of s**t, what a stupid c**t"

Nice....really really nice.

I bloody give up

[Patrick Brown]

Sorry Calum maybe I should have PMed that to you?

Just figured IS was aloud a say seeing no reason for his ban has been hinted at!

[Jayhawk]

Just spotted, in the tv section of the Guardian, a reference to a part of Sunday's film which shows "charred remains of the WTC in a hangar".
Excuse me? This is something new if true isn't it?

[Snowygrouch]

Thanks for the apology Patrick,
ISnot had my sympathy for his predicament, what it has to do with the BBC is really not very clear to me???????

I see he didnt bother emailing me to actually ask questions either. In spite of the fact I spent probably an hour of my time sending pms and emails around to find out what the situation was with his ban at his request. Apparently I shouldnt have bothered.

* to this I`m out to get pissed.

Excuse me? This is something new if true isn't it? Wasnt it all shipped off to China?

From the looks of it this is Popular Mechanics straw man arguments repeated verbatim...

I have started work on a debunking of this programme already (based on the above webpage).

Coming soon.

[Stefan]

Oh my god, this is absurd!

I've decided to put in a late nighter tonight making a fact sheet which deals with all the points made in the BBC webpage http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/conspiracy_files/6341851.stm so that when the programme airs I can adapt it quickly and have an "all questions answered resource" to respond to the many "but the BBC said" style objections campaigners are likely to receive.

Going through it I just found this:

Pity we cant stick the same issues to one thread. Check this sister thread out:-

This programme is a white wash.

Shame on the BBC

[mobypaterson]

yeah it's not looking good is it?


**edit: Oh and it appears we're all anti-semitic now too . . . remember the BNP court case last week when they claimed the BNP guy with hundreds of chemicals and weapons in his house was found to be looking at 911 conspiracy websites.

You can see the picture they are trying to paint. . .

[Shoestring]

This documentary is absolutely appalling.

[jonjo]

The establishment controlled media was never going to get tp the bottom of an establishment conspiracy I suppose.

It seems the BBC are just trying to explain away every theory with "go back to bed....conspiracies never happen.....just negligence.....America is run by 'good old boys'"

I have faith that the audience might make their own investigations though and find out all about the vast ammount of evidence that wasn't mentioned in the programme.

PNAC should set alarm bells ringing right away for example. Why wasn't that mentioned!

[Patrick Brown]

I thought it was quite good.

[mobypaterson]

[gareth]

did anyone see the 47 steel core columns remain when their animation explained the collapse?


stefan if you want a transcription of the programme i could have that for you by tomorrow?

[GazeboflossUK]

I assume that a document that goes through the programme point by point, line by line should be a pretty easy task.

"9/11 conspiracy theories will continue no matter how distressing it is for the families of the victims"
"9/11 conspiracy theories will continue no matter how distressing it is for the families of the victims"
"9/11 conspiracy theories will continue no matter how distressing it is for the families of the victims"
"9/11 conspiracy theories will continue no matter how distressing it is for the families of the victims"



They really aren't too clever, I pity them.
