Who was 'making fun' of the AQ connection?

CNN for one. CNN was blaming the attack on a possible guidance system malfunction into the middle of the afternoon on 9-11.

I will acknowledge that I didn't have the luxury of watching much TV on 9/11 (or that week, for that matter - it is a tale I won't get into, but I think I saw less contemporaneous TV coverage of that week than anyone I know), but I was listening to the radio all day and night on 9/11 (in my car), and didn't hear anyone make such a claim after the towers fell -

I also went back a few weeks later and watched a bunch of coverage from several networks on a website that archived that day's coverage from several news networks around the globe - don't recall seeing any such nonsense from CNN.

So, my real question is - ya got a cite? That would be an amazing thing to see, so I'd love to see it. I'm not saying it didn't happen, but that would be so against the grain of everything I heard that day that I am having trouble imagining it.

As an aside, as I was driving that day, many radio stations had ceded their programming to national coverage, and I heard quite a bit of CNN radio on that day.
