Isn't Rescue Me on FX? Which is owned by FOX? Which is owned by Rupert Murdoch? Who is - according to the "Truthers" - a mouthpiece for the "neocon" Conservatives who ran the country the last 8 years and presumably were the ones behind 911?
So they're devious enough to blow up buildings, murder thousands of Americans, blame it on a bunch of stupid Muslims, and fool all of us people with half a brain. But they're too impotent to prevent a show on their network from becoming a mouthpiece for the "truthers"??
Can't wait to hear how TR and Loren unravel this one......
Nahh...How about you Unravel it for us....Why would they allow such a controversial topic to be aired out in a fictionalized drama for the whole world to see....Tell Me Something....

"The Lone Gunmen, the Complete Series (Fox) - Back in 2001, when The X-Files was breathing its last prime-time gasp, this oddball spinoff series hit the airwaves for 13 episodes. The three unlikely conspiracy investigators built their own little cult following with the show, still shot in Vancouver after the original fled to sunny California.
The most remarkable episode... aired just a few months before 9/11 with an incredibly prescient plot about terrorists hijacking an airliner and threatening to crash it into the World Trade Center. Except, in this plot, the terrorists were a cabal within the U.S. government itself.
On the episode's commentary track, the creators themselves cannot believe the irony. They recall how, in the immediate hours after the event when it wasn't known who was responsible, they feared their story might have inspired the real terrorists." -Canada.com (03/28/05)
