MNSBC host Joy Reid promoted a conspiracy-based documentary on the 9/11 terrorist attacks on her personal blog in 2006.
In a post archived by the WayBack Machine, Reid said readers should watch "Loose Change 9/11," a web video first published in 2005, BuzzFeed News reported Wednesday.
The films were in part produced by Alex Jones, the founder of the InfoWars conspiracy website.
"The fundamental question is: do you believe the official story of 9/11?" Reid asked in the March 22, 2006, post. "If you do, great.
"If you don't, then everything that happened after that is called into serious question," she wrote.
The post was entitled "Think at your own risk" — and it was uploaded at 2:23 a.m.
"Even if you're agnostic, or you tend to believe that al-Qaida attacked the World Trade Center and Pentagon and that the government had no warning such a thing could happen, it's worth taking a second look," Reid continued.
In addition, she questioned the 9/11 attacks in a post from just weeks before the other blog, on March 4, 2006.
That post — "Flashback: September 30, 2001" — included a report from The Los Angeles Times published that day disclosing that U.S. officials believed al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden "long ago began orchestrating a significant terrorist counterpunch to the expected U.S. retaliation for the attacks on New York and the Pentagon."
Reid noted at the end of blog, however, that the federal government identified those behind the 9/11 attacks "in a very short time."
She also questioned why 7 World Trade Center, a smaller building in the World Trade Center complex, collapsed — though it had not be struck by an airplane.
"Anyway, just a bit [of] interesting nostalgia," Reid said in the blog, posted at 12:15 p.m. "Somehow I think it will be a generation before we get the full story on what happened on 9/11?"
Neither Reid, 49, nor MSNBC has responded to the BuzzFeed report. She has hosted a weekend political talk show on MSNBC since May 2016.
Last month, Reid acknowledged that she had no evidence to back up a previous claim that her now-defunct blog had been hacked after a series of homophobic posts from nearly a decade ago had surfaced.
