Seattle alt-weekly lionizes the "Truth" Movement

[tacodaemon]

Of the two Screw Loose Change bloggers, Brainster has his local alt-weekly wildly opposing the twoof movement, but JamesB's local alt-weekly "The Stranger" recently ran a piece that is frighteningly sympathetic to the twoofers and the "high value they place on reason" and their fine job of organizing people to hate the Evil Bush Administration:

Even repeats the bit about how 36% of people allegedly believe in either MIHOP or LIHOP...

It's really sad. It's almost like he knows that the 9/11 Conspiracy theories are total crap.but is supporting the Truth Movement anyway because they are anti Bush.
GUys like this is why I have become as disgusted as the political left as I am with the right: Both have huge ideological blinders on the allow them to distort reality.

Ahh, I searched the forums to see if it had been mentioned already but I must have used bad search terms or something. Thanks!
