KVUE News 3, ABC's Austin affiliate, covered country music
legend Willie Nelson's statements about 9/11 he made yesterday
on the Alex Jones Show.
The news brief included a snippet of Nelson asking rhetorically,
"How naive are we?" before a short story about what
it referred to as "controversial statements" Nelson
made about the twin towers' apparent demolition on 9/11.
KVUE did not refute the claims or make an attempt to belittle
the claims, though it did mention some of his other political
remarks-- against the Iraq War and for Kinky Friedman's bid
for Governor of Texas.
Willie Nelson went on a nationally syndicated radio show Monday,
and questioned the official story of what happened on Sept.
11.
Nelson said the collapse of the World Trade Center towers reminded
him of a hotel implosion in Las Vegas.
“The day it happened, I saw one fall and it was just
so symmetrical,” Nelson said on Alex Jones' talk show.
“I said, ‘Wait a minute, I just saw that last week
at the casino in Las Vegas’, and you see these implosions
all the time, and the next one fell and I said, ‘Hell,
there’s another one.' They’re trying to tell me
that an airplane did it and I can’t go along with that.”
Nelson’s publicist would not comment on the radio interview.
This is not the first time Willie has gotten political. In
recent years, he has written songs against the Iraq War, and
also in favor of gay rights. Nelson also campaigned in favor
of Kinky Friedman for governor.
