Anyone see the CBC documentary on "the facts behind the myths" of 9/11?

[Karmadillo]

Just wondering how it came across. Below is a link to the CBC site summarizing the program's areas of focus. Includes information on the speculation, the Saudi connection, the intelligence breakdown, the congressional report, as well as links to a number of 9/11 related sites. CBC repeats are scheduled for November 4th and 5th.

I suppose it's silly to ask if any US media outlets have announced plans to rebroadcast this.

http://www.cbc.ca/fifth/conspiracytheories/index.html

In a special season premiere investigation the fifth estate's Bob McKeown finds that even the most outlandish conspiracy theory may have its basis in a legitimate question.

In the course of separating fact from fiction, Bob delves into the labyrinthine and surprising ties between the Bushes and the Bin Ladens.

What he finds out may startle you as much as any conspiracy theory.

1. Anyone have any info on CBC's reputation?

I couldn't watch the documentary, don't have cable. I sent the link to BuzzFlash, hoping they would post it. As of this morning, it isn't posted yet. The web site looks extraordinary. Does anyone know if CBC is of the same calibre as, say, 60 minutes?

3. Absolutely.

Very fine journalists there. Extremely high caliber. Their network is modeled somewhat on the BBC.I watch their news from time to time and it's very good.

4. Thanks

Appreciate the quick response. Now I can quote CBC, with assurance.

11. In many ways the CBC are the BBC

They were started by the same group of people. I hold each in highest esteem.

6. Fifth Estate and the CBC have excellent reputations for investigative

reporting. Fifth Estate is much like 60 minutes, it doesn't deal in fluff. If you visit their site, you can see the sort of issues they cover.

2. Shoot!

I thought it was on tonight. I totally missed it!

5. Wonk is trying to get a recording of the show webhosted.

It should be up soon, if you want to watch it
that way.

9. You bet.

Please post a link when you get one. I'm sure this'll get watched by plenty of folks who can't get CBC.

14. it's up now in GD, just watched it

[Wonk]

17. I have it up on my slow server. Still working on getting it hosted on GFP.

150 M quicktime video and 10 M mp3 versions. If any of you can mirror these to help pass it around please PM me and I'll give you the url where you can download from my server.

7. We couldn't find it

watched CBC from 7:00 pm to 11:00 pm PST last night on Direct TV and it never came on - where was it supposed to be?

[Minstrel Boy]

10. Were you watching the main network, Newsworld or Newsworld Int.?

It was broadcast last night on the main network. It'll be rebroadcast later on Newsworld, and I don't think Newsworld International carries The Fifth Estate.

[montanacowboy]

12. we were

watching News World Intl. That's the Direct TVstation that carries CBC

15. That won't work for me. "Network problems".

Is there an audio only file someplace? :shrug:

[maveric]

19. The file worked this morning now I get,outdated or innaccurate file

Anyone know why this is happening now?

[Festivito]

13. It was better than the nothing we get in the US.

They missed some things, but, they fit it into one hour.

Spent half the time going over the Bush-Saudi connections, and associated actions surrounding 9/11. I thought it too much time. They made their point and could have used the time incorporating a wider range of details.

Skipped the three French books, just spoke of the one far-out book.

No put options.

MADE ME MAD, when they said we (I take that as CLINTON) did not want to hear. The INTELLIGENCE forces did not want to hear, CBC omits that Clinton froze OSL funds and ordered OSL watched for an eventual rocket to kill him dead, and did even more.

The reporting was excellent. Didn't think I was being manipulated by a left-winger NOR a right-winger. Remarkably even-toned. Remarkably.

16. Kick!

:kick:
Lets keep this kicked for all to view.

18. they could easily have gone for 2 hours ...

Unfortunately, the CBC (especially 5th Estate) is more into the short doc format. Too bad, because as DUers know, there is so much they could have put in!

That show has been going for awhile now. I remember watching it in the 1980s. They have a pretty good rep for archival/background research.

Anyone who hasn't seen it and can't get the video link to work, but really wants to watch -- I did tape it, and am willing to share provided the tape gets passed along to other DUers. (PM me.)
