Bias is a term used to describe a tendency or preference towards a particular perspective, ideology or result, especially when the tendency interferes with the ability to be impartial, unprejudiced, or objective.

I hope you don't seriously expect me to believe that you never made blanket insults against all "truthers" until I came along. Your insults aren't even directed at me personally, but seemingly everyone who posts here that you disagree with.
And I don't see how stereotyping a large and diverse group of people, again, has anything to do with me personally. You are discrminating against many very different people, the vast majority of which you don't know personally in the slightest.
Are you ready to explain what is impartial, unprejudiced, or objective about your blanket insults and derogatory stereotypes?

When I see no learning curve I respond. When I see people trying to introduce questioning of knee jerk Truther dogma ganged up on, I respond.
Because this is a conspiracy site and the majority accept information fed to them by amateur webites and videos cashing in on 9/11 interest
The fact that I regularly communicate with you and some others whose intelligence I can at least respect should be taken as a positive indicator.
Sorry to disagree with you, I was born this way
Truthers are people who voluntarily decide to become Truthers. They're not born into it, victims of random genetics, from deprived circumstances that gives them no alternatives.
Again, sorry, I don't believe you can debunk recorded history. It appears the MSM did their jobs before they were told to debunk the story.

One of Mr. Jarrah’s cousins, Ziad al-Jarrah, was among the 19 hijackers who carried out the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001,

Seriously, guys and gals; can we please agree that we will all fact check and check sources on articles before we post them????
Let me start off by saying I SUPPORT THE 9/11 TRUTH MOVEMENT. There is a lot of disinformation out there that is meant to inflame and disorient the movement, and this article is likely an example of that.
The reason it has not received any attention is because it is likely a complete fabrication. A simple examination of the article itself makes that abundantly clear. It was written in such a manner so as not to lend itself to being sourced.
There is no writer named as having authored this story. Instead, a group called "Americans4Truth" is credited in the publication. There are no links available for this group, no contact (names or email) information for anyone associated with the writing published within the article. Credible news articles name their writers, and you should be able to search him or her by name and look at their journalistic record (other articles they are credited with, etc.).
Further, the story is extremely vague in its descriptions of source material, and where it should be citing sources by name; it doesn't. For example, the article states the former Italian President "told Italy's oldest and most widely read newspaper" he knows the truth about 9/11. What newspaper would that be??? It's not named anywhere it the article. Try finding out what "Italy's oldest and largest newspaper" is, so you can check the facts in this article. Oh, and good luck.
Lastly, the whole thing reads like inflammatory anti-Zionist rhetoric, and this is where it really falls apart. The article quotes former Italian President Francesco Cossiga as saying, "All the [intelligence services] of America and Europe know well that the disastrous attack has been planned and realized from the Mossad, with the aid of the Zionist world in order to put under accusation the Arabic countries and in order to induce the western powers to take part in Iraq [and] Afghanistan."
You think the Western media would ignore the former Italian President naming, in Italy's BIGGEST NEWSPAPER, the "Zionist world" (let's assume that means Israel) as being responsible for 9/11??? If Ahmenijad so much as farts in Israel's direction, the International community and the Western media jumps all over him. There's no way for a second that a former Western leader could get away with saying something like this and having it completely ignored. Not a chance.
I can't tell you how many articles I see posted on ATS that share the same issues as this one: No credible sources. No sources cited. Containing information that could be construed as stoking the fires of hate. It's horribly annoying that people are reading this stuff and considering it true on its face.
Yes, it's important that everyone wake up to the truth. It's also important that we not lose sight of our wits as we open our eyes. Excitability can lead to vulnerability. THINK, EXAMINE, PROCESS, ANALYZE the information you post before putting it up. It does us all a world of good.
