This pissed me off so much at the time, I transcribed what she said. On April 25th 2013, I posted this…
"Two of the best things ever published about the 9/11 attacks are these two books (holds up the 9/11 Commission Report comic book, and Popular Mechanics' book on "9/11 Myths"). You know about the 9/11 Commission, right? The 9/11 Commission investigation into what happened on 9/11. Um, they of course, did the definitive official study of what happened that day, and they published it.. when they published the 9/11 Commission Report… they put it out, you might remember, as a trade paperback. It was cheap, it was 10 bucks, and they took care to write it in a narrative style so it would be kind of read like a novel. Essentially, they wanted it to be super accessible, and it was a best seller when they released it this way. They did not want this to be one of those typical blue ribbon, put it on a shelf, and nobody ever reads it, reports. So I think that was a really admirable approach to try to make widely accessible the findings of the 9/11 Report. But… the even better thing they did, is that they published an official comic book of the same report. It's the official graphic novel, a graphic adaptation of the real 9/11 Commission Report. And, as you can tell it is much slimmer, it is much easier to read, it's full of pictures, it's laid out like a comic book. And although it contains the same information as this big book (the 9/11 Report), it's laid out in a way that can be even more accessible to people who might not like the idea of digging through something like this (the 9/11 Report), however accessible they made it. Uh, you can still buy the graphic adaptation of the 9/11 Commission Report. I highly recommend it. Whether or not you're interested in the 9/11 Commission, or whether or not you just like graphic novels. So that's one…
My second entrant though, in uh… my fake book club of Rachel's most recommended books about 9/11, um, is this one… this was actually put out by Popular Mechanics. The magazine that you always read when you're at the airport even though you don't want people to see that you're reading it. Um, Popular Mechanics wrote this book, not about the 9/11 attacks overall, or their larger meaning. It's not like a holistic take on what happened in the attacks that day, the way that the 9/11 Commission was. This was written specifically to take on the claims of the people who said that 9/11 didn't really happen, or that 9/11 was an inside job. That 9/11 was not actually an attack on our country, but was rather a hoax perpetrated by our Government in order to… enslave us or something. The geeks and engineers at Popular Mechanics went through the conspiratorial 9/11 was an inside job arguments… they went through them piece by piece as geeks showing that, yeah, those were not missiles attached to that supposedly civilian plane. That's actually just what the bottom of that kind of plane looks like. They went through all of the conspiracies about the supposedly planned explosions that took down all those buildings, taking those theories apart with the help of, for example, seismographs from Columbia University. They just go through it, point by point, refuting the conspiracy theories about 9/11. Debunking 9/11 Myths: Why Conspiracy Theories Can Not Stand Up To The Facts. Popular Mechanics did it as a series in their magazine, and then they did it as this cheap book. You can still get it, it's very good." - Rachel Maddow
Giving the 9/11 Commission any legitimacy at all, shows that Rachel Maddow is either completely ignorant, or a willful shill that makes some money as a nationally known pundit.
Popular Mechanics book didn't touch on ANYTHING I did in my book. They went after the most popular "theories," and that's all.
Shame on Rachel Maddow. Shame shame shame."
