Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive what could go right.

with all the channels they will have plenty on this. But, Like any disaster or terrible happening.......   as time goes on it becomes less and less.... just the way things are. 

 

Plus, with the pandemic going on now.. I just do not think people want to dwell on more sadness and horror.... enough is enough.

We knew one of the pilots. I've been watching coverage all day. They are doing a good job. I'm not upset OR furious, just remembering.

CNN and MSNBC both had several hours of 9/11 coverage this morning.  My local TV stations also covered the memorial services and the President's speech.

@skatting44  There are posts on this forum so don't believe the op. You sound like the bully.

How many posters have stated that there has been coverage? No answer from the op to those posts. Is there some kind of agenda here? 

 

 

 

Spoiler

The complaint from the OP and the few echoed that complaint seemed odd since there was so much coverage.

Started out watching Fox and Friends with non-stop 911 coverage, where it was mentioned that the Tunnel to Towers organization will read all the names of those who perished.   Switched to radio after that and lots of coverage there.  Went online a few times today and total coverage, especially on FB.  Not sure how anyone is missing any of this.  We will never forget!!!

Sorry, but :"Corporate America" isn't the bad guy here. It's being covered on various sources, as others have mentioned.  I'm not sure what you expected, but I don't think non-stop coverage is appropriate.  It's still morning here on the west coast, and I'm sure there will be even more later in the day and evening.

 

I am sorry for your losses.

 

ETA - I just googled 9/11 and all sorts of news coverage and information came up.
