“I wish to GOD to see one of the networks grow gonads and put the entire 9/11 day of media coverage on the air.”

This has bothered me for years. About the only halfway decent documentary is the national geographic one — but all of the bastards want to muck things up with talking heads and analysis and ‘context’ instead of just letting the shock of the even as it happened speak for itself. I think last year Fox News did show some of their broadcast footage uninterrupted.

The excuse is ‘sensitivity’ but the real reason for sitting on all of that striking footgae is our presumed enlightened betters
in the MSM not wanting us lumpen proles to get pissed off by being reminded unequivocally about what happened.

The same sort of memory hole exists WRT all the excellent live coverage of the initial invasion of Iraq — don’t want us to have any pride in our troops and their amazing success because it might make for dreaded ‘jingoism’.
