MSNBC debuted a new program, Monday, featuring a 9/11 truth
conspiracy theorist as a co-anchor. Toure Neblett will be one of the
hosts for The Cycle [1], airing at 3pm EDT on the cable network. Toure (who doesn't use his last name [2] on MSNBC) has tweeted his suspicions about whether the 9/11 terrorist attacks were an inside job.
One entry on Twitter reads: "How could a plane crash into the Pentagon? And not appear on video cameras?? And leave little wreckage???
#Don'tbuyitfiremenow." Another tweet features a paranoid video claiming
that the Pentagon was hit by a missile: "This fascinating video raises
questions about the Pentagon attack: 757 or missle [sic]?

Regarding former green jobs czar Van Jones (whose name appeared in a
9/11 truther website), Toure tweeted, "Van Jones was forced to resign
partly bc questions the truth of 9/11 but that Pentagon attack is really
fishy..."
Toure has refused repeated attempts via Twitter to explain his 9/11 trutherism. He can be reached here. [3] He has also stopped discussing the subject.
The journalist and author has also indulged in other, more standard conspiracy mongering.
On August 27, 2011 [4],
he speculated that a hurricane might be the fault of global warming:
"When you talk about an unusual weather event happening in New York and
this sort of thing, is this really evidence of global warming to see
this sort of a massive storm happening here?"
Considering how outraged hosts on MSNBC became over so-called
birtherism, it's shocking that the network would give a program to
someone who promotes such an outrageous theory.
