So how much of this 9/11 coverage have you watched today

[LynneSin]

I turned on one news channel this morning and they introduced Chris Christie as a speaker. I immediately turned it off.

Later on I had MSNBC turned on and they reaired the Today show from that day. When I turned it on it was right after the first WTC was hit and I ended up watching it for an hour - until they showed that building fall to the ground (about 90 minutes later).

I never saw the original coverage. I was working 3rd shift and slept thru all until about noon that day.

[shanti]

1. none and

i don't intend to watch any of it.

[Dont_Bogart_the_Pretzel]

68. +1

[lefthandedlefty]

125. Same here

[Amonester]

131. Ditto.

Quick Comes Monday...

[Ishoutandscream2]

132. Yep. Watching a little football

and will attempt to stomach watching the Cowboys playing tonight (which is agonizing enough). But once they start all that flag waving stuff, I'm shutting the tube off and will turn back on for kick off.

[Ian David]

2. I have watched NONE.

Been filtering it through the waterbong of Facebook, Twitter and DU.

[Incitatus]

3. about 2 minutes nt

[Mr Deltoid]

4. None

Already had my fill over the last couple of days.

[Drale]

5. Nothing today

I watched a thing about the building of the World Trade Center the other day. It was very interesting but that the only thing, connected to 9/11 that I have watched.

[rustydog]

6. none. I do not need propaganda to honor those who died

on Sept 11th. I don't need to be told to feel sad and patriotic.

[mfcorey1]

7. Glued and fixed all day.

[Tippy]

40. Me too

[Auntie Bush]

116. Me three

[enough]

8. none

[Historic NY]

9. zero...I did my thing on Friday.

in the city.

[Lucian]

10. Very little.

I got sick of the exploiting and hypernationalism.

I turned on football to escape it. Nice to see it wasn't on there too. :eyes: :eyes: :eyes:

[RC]

11. There's 9/11 coverage? Who knew?

:sarcasm:

[derby378]

12. Watched the bells ring for the Twin Towers

Heard the speeches by Bush and Obama.

And then I popped Fahrenheit 9/11 into the Blu-Ray.

[Cant trust em]

13. I watched some of the original coverage that they're playing on CNN.com

It's interesting to see how people reacted on that day.

[EFerrari]

34. If you're interested, there's a good archive on line.

http://911digitalarchive.org

[cordelia]

14. None at all.

[cali]

15. zip, zero, none.

[ChiciB1]

16. NONE & WON'T! n/t

[physioex]

17. Haven't turned TV on all day......

Just hangin on DU only.

[sammytko]

18. NONE

[YellowRubberDuckie]

19. Just the History Channel stories of survival and hope.

I watched enough of the coverage to see the memorial and then turned it.

[coalition_unwilling]

20. 9-11 10th Anniversary coverage while Social Security is looted right in

front of us?

And Bush and Cheney did not have to testify under oath to the 9-11 Commission?

Gives new meaning to the phrase 'bread and circuses'

[hlthe2b]

21. the level of cynicism on DU today is so gratuitous & excessive...

Did someone send out the notion that the "cool kids" of DU should ridicule and mock everything to do with today's memorial? I am disgusted.

It isn't as though anyone is making anyone watch or listen or even think about the day if they do not wish. I swear some of these same people would probably go to a funeral and mock the grieving families, if they didn't like the service. Incredibly dismaying. I can only hope that some pizzas catch up with some of the worst offenders that are being so damned nasty and intolerant towards other Duers. Damn.... :shrug:

[ProdigalJunkMail]

23. indeed...was on the outs in school

now i am not 'cool' on DU either...

sP

[Cant trust em]

29. +1.

I don't really know how to explain it, but the disregard for this feels strange to me.

[sufrommich]

41. I agree. As usual, some DUers give the enemy their

talking points.

[bettyellen]

47. Thank you, I completely agree.

[lunatica]

58. I agree. The cynicism is very sad

It was a day that for better or worse changed life. I happen to think that it was mostly for worse with the wars. I've cried quite a bit in the last 2 days, and no one will make me feel ashamed or weak for it. A lot of those tears have been for the turn this country has taken in the last decade.

[AngryOldDem]

77. I was never one of the "cool kids"

...here or anywhere else, so I really couldn't give a good tinker's damn about the prevailing sentiment of the moment.

The day deserves some recognition. Always will. And if people can't see that simple fact, then there's nothing more to be said about that.

[RamboLiberal]

120. +1 another of the never cool kids

I think 9-11 will always deserve rememberance for those who died. I found the ceremony this morning touching. I watched a lot of the coverage.

I can still abhor how the neocons used and abused 9-11 without mocking the tragedy of that horrible day.

[LynneSin]

110. I understand why you are annoyed but I have one question to ask...

when will our nation have a day of memory for the thousands of people who have died since 9/11 - in 2 wars that so far have not ended. I mean I understood why we were going into Afghanistan but Iraq was not part of this. So far more soldiers have died fighting in these war than all of 9/11/01.

[hlthe2b]

113. Do you go to a memorial for friend's family members and ask

when they are going to hold a memorial for yours? or for those who died in Vietnam? Or for the millions that died in traffic accidents the past year? Or for all the AIDS victims who have died over the past decades? Or for those African Americans who were lynched in the south? Or for the victims of genocide in Rwanda, Stalinist Russia, Armenians in Turkey, Nazi holocaust in Europe, and on and on? The countless millions who died for lack of access to health care or from corporatist policies that negligently exposed them to fatal toxins or radiation?

These are rhetorical questions and not aimed at you personally, Lynnesin, though I hope some will still get the point. They are certainly free to expand the memorial today for all that have lost lives directly or even unrelated to 911. They are also free to acknowledge the very many shortcomings and troubling policies that have come from the events on 9/11/2001. It isn't as though all here are not keenly aware of such.

There are myriads of injustices that need to be addressed. But, that does not mean one can not be a compassionate human being and acknowledge on one day the losses that are important to so many. Surely it is not necessary to be as snide and sarcastic towards what is a very meaningful commemoration to so many who felt loss (as some here have been)--even if some here do not like the manner of that commemoration--or feel as though it is "incomplete."

I have chosen to be judicious in what I have viewed the past couple of days and have tried to avoid that all too familiar footage. Mostly, I've liked listening to radio interviews with those directly affected which shows their resiliency, tenacity, and courage. All of us can learn from those examples, it would seem. Even if they come from someone who some view overly nationalistic and "flag-waving." Or (gasp) religious! Or whatever. Their stories have lessons for all of us, even if they don't always mirror our own lives or philosophies.

[LynneSin]

114. The death of any of my family members never caused 2 nations to be invaded

but that's beside the point.

I'm not disrespecting what was done today but it just seems a bit of overkill was created. Hell we had an op-ed piece in our local paper that thought it was disrespectful for the NFL to start their season today.

It's been way too much and these news people need to do their job and ask questions like 'when will this war end'

[hlthe2b]

119. I agree with the need to address the bigger picture...

I also was not (at all) suggesting you were among those disrespecting the memorials today. After all, this is your thread and many of those responses to your innocent question about what others were watching/listening to/ reading, etc. today were from those "cool kids" just wanting to attack the idea of commemorating today or taking part at all.

Nor am I disagreeing that it is overkill. While I do appreciate the need to commemorate and those aspects of today's coverage that were more meaningful or even educational, some of the coverage was just sensationalized crap. Not all, though. The 911 commission documentary on MSNBC was actually amazingly revealing and blunt in pointing out the propaganda and the truth behind these devastating wars that came as a result. I found it unusually accurate for what we normally see presented by our media.

I knew it would be necessary to be judicious in what I watch or listen to. Actually not so hard, since I only stream on computer or listen to satellite radio, as I do not have cable tv. I can certainly see how overwhelming today would be for those spending too much time watching tv.

I do remain dismayed at those who mock and deride every aspect of today's commemorations, however, and in particular those DUers who actually may have found some meaning from them.

[OwnedByFerrets]

128. Thank you

[hlthe2b]

135. No one here is in disagreement with respect to the horrific post 911 policies

However, to conflate that issue though ridicule and mockery of those trying to show a modicum of respect for lives lost and those who grieve is just WRONG. THAT is what some on DU have been doing today.

Thank you.

[fxw]

144. Brilliant. So very true. nt

[Recovered Repug]

112. Not just today's memorial.

It's standard practice to ridicule holidays (too "American" or too religious). It's also cool to start threads announcing how little one cares about an event (see the last royal wedding). This is just a twofer.

[earthside]

22. I won't watch any.

I am very disturbed by the celebratory nature many 9/11 'commemorations' are taking. In Denver this afternoon a Beach Boys concert is being staged as part of the 9/11 events.

The truth is that 9/11 was a significant and tragic defeat for the United States -- similar to Pearl Harbor. Who would have imagined a Benny Goodman concert to remember Pearl Harbor even a decade after December 7? After the horror of World War II?

Yet, here we are having concerts and pancake breakfasts and walks/runs after the horror of a botched war in Afghanistan, a war of lies on Iraq, the subversion of the Constitution with the Patriot Act and the Department of Homeland Security, the torture, the NSA spying ... on and on.

What greater evidence of national decline than a power establishment in denial about the historical negative consequences of the 9/11 attacks.

It should be a day of quiet commemoration and reflection -- and actually, as I look at what my neighbors are doing today, that is what most regular folks want, too.

[RKP5637]

24. None. n/t

[AndyTiedye]

25. Tee Vee is OFF

[alp227]

26. Thom Hartmann has a special show this afternoon at 4 Eastern on Free Speech TV

that'll be the ONLY coverage I'll watch, I get this whole "9/11 was a sad day" and I remember the plane crash video as I saw it on TV on 9/11/01; it was after school and I was in 5th grade at the time. (If you don't get FSTV on television, then you may watch the show online at FreeSpeech.org or Ustream.tv/thomhartmann.)

[RKP5637]

30. +1, n/t

[Whisp]

27. none, zip, nada and hope I don't stumble upon it in the next while.

[d_b]

28. none

[TheDebbieDee]

31. None. I'm watching "Captain's Log", a Star Trek retrospective

on the BIO Channel.......

[aikoaiko]

32. Quite a bit since 8:30 am. Mostly CNN. Its mostly touching and moving

I don't like the Bushco folks defending themselves, but thats just a small part.

Its mostly about the average people involved.

[johnnie]

33. A little here and there

There is a good one called "9/11 the days after" or something like that that is pretty good. No commentary or any yappin' heads, just footage of the days after. The part where they showed the three minutes of silence around the world killed me because I remember how quickly george pissed away all that support.

[City Lights]

35. So far, none.

And I don't plan on watching any of it.

[fortyfeetunder]

36. No change from 10 years ago

Ten years ago, with young children, I didn't want to see all this. I knew what happened, justifiably angry, needed no reminders.
Today, my spouse and I watched the Food Network in the morning since all the local channels had 9/11 coverage, and later football.

[ixion]

37. zero. zip. nada.

[jefferson_dem]

38. C-SPAN all morning.

Priceless network of record...without the mindless, pointless chatter.

[sufrommich]

39. I'm watching MSNBC. It's a rerun from that day.nt

[Warren Stupidity]

42. Accidental radio drive by shooing.

I listened long enough for the npr idiot to voice over the first moment of silence with "This is a moment of silence" at which point I wanted to choke said npr idiot with The Jazz Hands of Death for Assault by Irony, but just dialed in a podcast instead.

[lynne]

43. Too much - finally had to turn it off -

- as it was emotionally exhausting. Saw a few of the history channel shows over the weekend and was watching a live feed from NYC ceremony.

[Contrary1]

44. Pre-game comment by Robert DeNiro...

That's it, and that's all. Don't care to see any of the "specials".

There's a movie on USA tonight I plan to watch called "The Space Between". It's about a flight attendant who agrees to get a Pakistani-American boy to New York on 9/11 to look for his dad. Looks like it might be good from the promos.

[bettyellen]

46. Im sorry i thought you were comparing the memorial to a game, as others here have called it a fest

[Contrary1]

57. Before the Colts-Texans game Robert DeNiro had about 60 seconds to talk about it...

How the hell would you describe it? Not disgusting at all.

Your comment regarding my mother was unnecessary.

[MineralMan]

45. A couple of hours this morning. My wife and I always watch

the news over our morning coffee and newspaper reading. Then we shut off the tube and go to work.

[GoCubsGo]

48. None.

I'm watching the cooking/home/gardening shows on PBS Create, just like I do every Sunday. Even the insipid "Katie Brown Workshop" is preferable to reliving that day, and to all of the psuedopatriotic jingoism associated with it.

I did, however, watch the video of Joe Biden's speech yesterday, to see what everyone was raving about. It WAS good.

[RB TexLa]

49. It's only 2 in the afternoon Eastern. Who the hell has already turned their TVs on?

[lunatica]

50. I watched Rachel Maddow and Richard Engel's Day of Destruction, Decade of War

which I highly, highly recommend as one of the most comprehensive documentaries of the last 10 years I've ever seen, and I watched the documentary on the 9/11 Commission.

All in all a lot of blank spaces in my knowledge of recent history have been filled in.

I posted an OP on Rachel and Richard's documentary here

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=439x1912917

[Odin2005]

51. 0. Nothing. Nada.

[Romulox]

52. Zilch. Buffering the Lions on the DVR. nt

[obxhead]

53. As little as possible, but it's even invaded the football games.

x(

[eShirl]

54. I only watched a few minutes of BBC World (hoping to avoid 911 programming)

and even that was too much for me.

I'm not much for wallowing around in horrific loss, unfortunately.

[closeupready]

55. None. Immediately turned the channel. It's maudlin and malingering.

Sooooo done with Amazing Grace and 9/11 memorializing.

[Scruffy1]

56. No TV.

I highly recommend getting the evil propaganda machine and time waster out of your life.

[Angry Dragon]

59. ZERO minutes

[Donnachaidh]

60. none.

We disrespect the victims with this hairshirt wallowing. Especially the fake wallowing by professional politicians. It's disgusting and immoral.

[WorseBeforeBetter]

61. I listened to WCPE's sacred music tribute, had a good cry at some of the comics...

(particularly Mutts -- "heal"), and planted four beautiful flowering shrubs. That was my own little tribute, with none of the "expert" commentary that I have very little tolerance for. I detest Corporate Media and do not believe the official story, but I'm not going to condemn others who choose to watch TV coverage. We deal with it in our own way.

[tblue]

62. None. Are there commercials?

The exploitation is revolting to me. No, I have no wish to marinate my brain in reliving that day. Honor & help the first responders, send good thoughts to the survivors, and that's it.

[madrchsod]

63. ---0----

[tularetom]

64. Not one minute

The TV was on in the background yesterday and I could hear enough of what was going on that I knew I would never even turn the thing on today. What I heard was enough to make me puke.

Apparently what we learned from 9/11 was that it "unified" us and "strengthened America's resolve". It didn't turn us into a bunch of scared whiney babies willing to give up our precious liberties for the illusion of safety or anything like that. Nope, uh uh, never happened.

[Iggo]

65. Zero.

[ThatsMyBarack]

66. None today.

I watched Dateline's tribute on Friday night. That's all I can stand.

[CanonRay]

67. Zero, Zip. Nada.

and I don't plan to.

[Jkid]

69. None. The original purpose of 9/11 has since been turned into a farce.

...therefore I'm treating 9/11 as if it was a normal day. If they have to be a memorial they should have renamed 9/11 day as National Terrorist Victims Memorial Day.

[sfpcjock]

70. 5-10 minutes.

We watched more of

o The Baker Boys on Nat Geo because these are the only format to see footage and interviews with our soldiers.

o 9/11 Press for the Truth on LinkTV == here on Google Video: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3979568779414136481 (2hrs)

I feel that the MSM coverage is oriented towards cloying and a phony memory of a tragedy that exploited by our government. It's not watchable.

[bklyncowgirl]

71. I watched most of it. It was quite beautiful. Some of the comments here are frankly disturbing.

These were ordinary people of all races, religions, ethnic backgrounds, political leanings and income levels who died. My own husband missed being in the World Trade Center when the first plane hit by about ten minutes. The people who honored them were family members and friends. Yes there were politicians of both parties there who spoke briefly.

New Jersey lost many people that day. It was appropriate for their current elected leader to speak just as it was appropriate for New York's elected leader, Democrat Andrew Cuomo, to speak. Their comments were brief and appropriate and believe me I am no fan of Chris Christie and I despise George W. Bush and the disaster he used 9/11 to lead us into just as much as any of you.

To me liberals who act so cool, so above it all, so snide, so elitist (and LynneSin, I'm talking about some other people on this thread and others who have been sounding like this has been one big GOPfest and celebration of George W. Bush, and not you) are just as bad as the war mongering conservatives who use this attack to pound home their hatred of Muslims and further their political advantage.

If you didn't watch it that's fine. If a non-sectarian, apolitical ceremony is anathema to you I suppose that's your business, but there's no reason to disparage the people who lost their families in a public Internet forum.

This may be a perfect example of why so many ordinary Americans hate self-described liberals.

[bettyellen]

83. boy, you said it. they only care their precious cable TV schedule was interupted the past two weeks

Im disgusted by this place today. No empathy- just a lot of spouting off about things they have not even seen. Pathetic

[wellst0nev0ter]

97. I Was Disgusted With The Coverage Back Then

Hardly even watched a minute of TV or heard any radio for days, even weeks after the attack. Mostly because I knew what was coming and the brainless coverage only confirmed that fact.

Now if I watch it, I'm only reminded about what happened, and how this country pretty much didn't learn any lessons. So excuse me if I don't have any empathy for the 9-11 victims (all of them, including those killed in our revenge attacks) because I refuse to watch jingoistic, dishonest nostalgia mush.

(Flame retardant: Do NOT interpret this as me saying anyone who watches network coverage today are somehow stupid and jingoistic. They are not bad people, just like those who choose not to watch the network coverage.)

[bettyellen]

103. well you missed Maddow's amazing special on it. And anyone who watched the memorial today

was extremely touched and inspired by the family members who spoke. The only complaints I heard were about talking heads or commercials. neither of which were on CSpan or CNBC.
I know what you mean about too much coverage- but the memorial today twas a completely non political non sensationalistic event. People are upset the Govs of NY and NJ spoke? For fucks sake, some people need to grow up. I've never seen so many DUers get upset like this over nothing. Like you, I edited my TV watching so I didn;t have anythng to bitch about. Only thing I can figure is too many of them are glued to the tv.

[wellst0nev0ter]

136. Yes, I Missed Maddow's Special

Because frankly it doesn't inform me much of anything, just repeats the sad seriatim of what we've been exposed to for the past 10 years. All it'll do is angry up the blood.

And the 9-11 memorial service included the false president that exploited that disaster to the detriment of this nation. The fact that he is standing there unscathed is a black mark on this nation, and no I'm not going to give him that undeserved attention.

[bettyellen]

146. to bad you OD'd on crap TV and missed the worthwhile things.

[Puglover]

101. Please link to where a DUer is "disparaging"

a family member of a 9/11 victim. Seriously. Please do. I'd like to see it.

[bettyellen]

104. I read someone here say they were "wallowing". sorry no link.

but yeah, people were sucky here today. Jerks should just rent movies if they know they cannpt handle a disruption in their tv watching.

[Puglover]

108. If someone is saying a family member is wallowing in grief over

the loss of a loved one then they are off base. However IMHO this country has wallowed in the 9/11 tragedy without ever taking a hard look at just why it happened. One of my favorite articles on it is Arundahti Roy's "The Algebra of Infinite Justice"
http://www.commondreams.org/views01/1003-09.htm

But I honestly do not consider myself a cynic because I find some talking head aka Brian Williams pukeworthy and chose not to watch their bullshit.

[proud2BlibKansan]

141. I saw it all 10 years ago

Some of us just don't want to watch the tributes.

To each his own. Just because I chose not to watch it today doesn't make me disturbed. Good grief.

[bklyncowgirl]

145. I have issues with snide, nasty, condescending comments--not people choosing not to watch

If you chose not to watch it fine. Go watch something else, get out of the house, take a hike or work on actually doing something to move this country forward instead of sitting in your mother's basement pounding your keyboard, but don't, on a public forum, make snide, nasty comments about people wallowing in grief or the naivety of those who do not share your particular take on events leading up to or following the attacks be it MIHOP, LIHOP, incompetence or whatever.

Some of us are not over this. But for fifteen minutes I could have been one of those widows reading off names. Not everything is partisan.

[newfie11]

72. none n/t

73. None. Nada. Zip. Zero. n/t

[AngryOldDem]

74. I just caught some of the ceremonies this morning.

That said, I was up until 1 a.m. watching two MSNBC documentaries...one was a recollection of the events by NBC News people, and the other, "On Native Soil," was a very, very well-done piece on the 9/11 Commission. If it comes on again anytime today, I highly recommend it.

It was amazing to me while watching the NBC News doc that the words they described to fit that day precisely matched mine: Slow and surreal.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

75. None

I am depressed enough. That being said my heart goes out to everybody who lost a loved one that day.

[jannyk]

76. No TV only Roku/Netflix etc - thank god.

[Life Long Dem]

78. I'll see Bush and I turn the channel.

Since he is on often, I don't watch much.

82. I am at the beach with friends from Austin.

I am posting from my new cell phone.

We went to the beach to have a nice day.

We just trying to forget about the dry weather here for a day.

I have no interest in watching 911 anything.

[alfredo]

84. None, I don't like picking scabs.

[RebelOne]

85. My local TV station here in Atlanta

has been showing 9/11 tributes all morning. I have been watching mainly because of Atlanta area tributes.

[QC]

86. I watched Saint of 9/11 on Hulu instead.

Just imagine if we had followed the lead of Mychal Judge rather than George W. Bush.

[Liberal_in_LA]

87. none. Original live coverage showed people jumping from towers.

My sis told me about it. I avoided those scenes. They don't show re-runs of the people jumping. Too horrible.

[etherealtruth]

Sorry duplicate post

[etherealtruth]

88. Just turned the history channel on (3:30ish ET)

They are focusing on personal experiences and stories ... I understand their need to retell their story.

[FreakinDJ]

89. ZERO - Nada - Zilch

[Renaissance Man]

90. "On Native Soil"

The only coverage I've watched of this 10-year memorial is "On Native Soil," an MSNBC documentary based on the 9/11 Commission's findings.

I haven't given any airtime today to any of it. We're propagandized enough by the mainstream media.

[LWolf]

91. None. nt

[bonecrusher3k]

92. none

and I don't intend to watch any at all

[MissDeeds]

93. I'm a history buff, so I watched

the replaying of the events as they happened. I didn't watch any of the events taking place today.

[cleanhippie]

96. Listened on NPR, but when Obama read scripture, I turned it off.

:puke:

[Overseas]

98. No TV. Maybe Link TV later. Bush and Cheney should not be on the air.

They should be hiding away in repentance for their failures and war crimes.

[EFerrari]

106. Zip of the corporate cr@P but Link ran The War You don't See

yesterday as a counter. Since John Pilger is all but banned in this country, that was appreciated.

[Overseas]

130. I admire his work too.

[Puglover]

99. Not one nano second.

105. Zero... point... zero

[femmocrat]

107. Absolutely NONE of it. n/t

[a la izquierda]

109. Not one iota.

I listened to Thom Hartmann for a few minutes, but that was it. I am now watching tennis, and will watch the weather in a bit. But I have no intentions of watching any of it.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

111. NONE: I refuse

It was mentioned in this morning's sermon, in the sense of remembering the people who died in the wars that 9/11 was the excuse for and for the need for forgiveness.

Our choir sang Samuel Barber's "Agnus Dei," which he set to his "Adagio for Strings."

That was enough.

[MrSlayer]

115. None. I saw it when it happened.

I don't need to watch it again. Particularly now with all the lies and bullshit that have been built up over the past ten years.

[Raine]

117. I watched a program on The History Network about the history and building of the WTC

it was interesting and not so depressing like most of the other programming. Included some history of NYC and it's skyscrappers. The other programming was just to sad to watch. :-(

118. Does the Concert for New York count?

121. Please make the insanity stop.... I didn't want to watch....

123. No

I saw It's A Mad, Mad, Mad World for the fifth time and turned the TV off.

122. I accidentally saw a bit on 2 local channels trying to check the weather, Pearl Harbor-

did they make as much of an upset over that in 1951? I've never read anything that suggests it, but....

124. So many kool kidz on DU proving how indifferent they are!

I wish I could be as kool as they are.

133. Proud to say I watched the observances from NYC and Pennsylvania.

I don't watch replays. That day of horror is seared in my mind forever. I will, as long as I live, watch tributes to the lost and to those who summoned selfless courage.

127. Nothing...I did "LaLa"...cooked great Breakfast....went to return

some stuff at Hardware store that didn't work out...then shopped for shoes ...then hit the Grocery Store to stock up for the coming week.

Came back and turned on the "Weather Channel" and they were doing "Disaster Storms"...turned it off and cooked dinner and am now getting ready to sit down to my ROKU Box to watch a movie on Crackle. If that doesn't work out...then I'll read a book.

129. Who the Hell would have "UnRecommended" this post . I just hit Rec...

Really some "interesting people" around here these days who "cue up the UnRecs" so that the replies for REC don't matter.

:crazy:

134. I just got sucked into Inside 9/11: Zero Hour

on Nat Geo because they were going over the time line and I wanted to see when if F-16s were ever scrambled in the 2 hours between the first and last attacks. They said F-16s were scrambled for the first plane but 15 minutes too late. Then, thought I, could they be retargeted onto Flight 175 which next destroyed WTC1? It didn't happen, maybe because the flight transponder was off by then.

137. None

I looked at photos of the waterfall memorial, which I think is very nice. I remembered my visits to the buildings. No 'coverage' however.

[backscatter712]

138. Zero. Fuck the MSM's attempts to use 9/11 to manipulate me.

That's exactly what they're doing. Don't show the footage to me, don't show Lee Greenwood to me, don't show me tear-jerked montages of the troops. Best not to show me anything, because I will treat it as a crass attempt to appeal to my patriotism and cultivated sense of guilt to try to get me to approve of yet more blowing shit up in Afghanistan.

139. I'm in mourning for this country every day

...wasn't necessary to watch the towers burning and falling to feel the sadness. I live with it.

I am sick and dismayed by all that we have seen that day and ever since. The only positive thing you can say about 9-11 is that it led to an aftermath which reveals this country for what it is-- a corrupt and failed democracy.

And when you face the Truth, only then can you begin to effect changes.

140. Not one minute

I loaded up my DVR and spent an absolutely wonderful day watching Mad Men and other shows.

[ScreamingMeemie]

142. What coverage?

[ZombieHorde]

143. None, but I have read some threads on the subject here on DU.

I appreciated almost all the comments I read.
