Rosie O'Donnell 'View' Booking Of 9/11 Conspiracists Made ABC Nervous

Rosie O'Donnell and Charlie Sheen have been the biggest supporters of the wacky 9/11 documentary "Loose Change" - which argues that the World Trade Center terror attack was part of a covert U.S. government conspiracy - but that support is dwindling quicker than John Edwards polling numbers. Rosie O'Donnell trumpeted her feelings about it on "The View" and her blog, making ABC bosses nervous and infuriating many viewers, writes the New York Post.
Page Six reports that O'Donnell had reportedly booked the film's producers, Korey Rowe and Dylan Avery, for Thursday's show. But after the fight with Elisabeth Hasselbeck on Wednesday, and after her chief writer was caught defacing Hasselbeck's photos with mustaches, O'Donnell bolted from the show.
Charlie Sheen "is having second thoughts" about being involved in an updated version of the film.
Virgin Atlantic had announced it would offer the current, narration-free version of the film as an in-flight movie choice, but dumped the idea almost immediately.
"Loose Change" attempts to argue the widely debunked "controlled demolition" theory, which claims the Twin Towers and 7 World Trade Center were an inside job. It alleges the jet-fuel fires inside the towers weren't hot enough to melt the buildings' steel reinforcements. It offers the ludicrous idea that the buildings were blown up from within.
Those claims were soundly refuted by Popular Mechanics magazine, which methodically shot down every single one.

Isn't the quality of their propaganda breath-taking?
