What makes you think NYers (real ones, not transplants from fly-over country) don't despise those media whores even more than you do? Remember, most of us knew at least one victim at least casually and/or almost lost someone close (I knew 12 and had the closest of family there). We have less than zero tolerance for their efforts to make the tragedy of that day their own personal property.
I don't know; but I do know what I see and that is a lot of support for the NYT in the letters to the editor section.
Granted, there are also letters of condemnation, but not enough to satisfy my sense of outrage.
I know you were deeply affected by 9/11, as were many other New Yorkers, but it seems all too many have forgotten.
Thanks. Always good to hear from those who see through their self-serving veneer. For us out here in fly-over country listening to the Rats and the media, to listen to them its like Ann Coulter is the anti-Christ.
We lost 2 cousins, and my sister-in-law hid in the basement of a nearby building for the entire day...
