As someone that has covered 9\/11 informally for nearly 20 years, and formally for the last ten, I don\u2019t recall this much clear pro-official story propaganda in long, long time.<\/p>\n<p>This manifested as clear, planned disinformation \u00a0campaigns hitting the same talking points over and over again.<\/p>\n<p>The pattern is quite telling.
