I saw neither.
I was under the impression the only captured images of the first plane hitting the first tower were taken by a French film crew making a documentary about the WTC.
Or something like that.
Otherwise, why would Fox News just happen to be broadcasting images of the WTC on that particular day at that particular time when the first plane hit? Originally, it was just another September morning.
LOL. I don’t know what they call them in Texas. I live in California. Here, we call them extra forks.
There was a French film crew I believe recording documentary footage for something in a New York Fire Department station near the WTC. They obtained this footage of the first strike, and it was broadcast later.
See my post #23 above.
Olbermeister would have made a fine propagandist for Hitler in the 30’s.
In fact, he employs the exact same tactics.

I entirely agree.
Which is what makes this coming out of the MSM so terrifying.
I tried to provide a refutation of the substance. But what is going on right now - and which is very Hitleresque - is the fact that Obama is presenting himself as erasing the Bush years by erasing his policies (which he demonized as a candidate) when in fact he is doing many of the same things.
The media either has to be discredited or we have to go through fascism/Marxism all over again, on my view.
Too much time and electrons wasted on uberidiot.
“He is an anti-American commie-supporter who hates all that is good and embraces all that is evil” will do.
No indications there of the actual impact of the first plane being transmitted; only the aftermath and the impact of the second plane.
Ah.
One of the links posted immediately above stirs my memory.
I heard the report that a large passenger jet had just struck the WTC. Then I saw a series of still pictures that burned into the mind of smoke billowing out of the building while talking heads talked.
And as they were talking I saw the 2nd plane hit live.
See my post 31.
I DO hope people realize that my article is about Keith Olbermann’s lies and demagoguish attacks on Dick Cheney and the record AFTER 9/ll.
It was NOT intended to be about “the chronology of media coverage during the 9/11 attacks.”
Amen to all you said. Since I don’t watch MSNBC, much less Olbermann, and haven’t seen him since the Lewinsky days, my mind went to the Ben Affleck SNL skit of an Overbite rant ... it was marvelous.
Don't forget the pathetic clowns with box cutter that thought they could simultaneously hijack four jumbo jets and kill thousands. That one's a real knee slapper too. These are the rubes we need protection against?
I happen to believe that Obummer will fail so badly at trying to destroy a free country and to rule over a free people, that he will put his party out of power for many years to come. Maybe even out of power for decades. Maybe even permanently.

That’s my first reaction, too. But my second reaction is to remember how badly FDR failed in ending the Great Depression, yet how determined people were to continue letting him pursue a completely failed policy.
Something has recently scared me as well. I’ve been in a rather bitter argument with a guy who demonizes the GOP and offers an independent party. Our argument is here:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2255749/posts
Independents have soared during this period, as too many conservatives have bought the media propaganda that brought down the Republicans.
What will happen if the conservative vote splits between the GOP and one or several independent parties? We lose; liberals win.
And as long as we have the same media that can demonize one side and sing chanting praises of the other, I’m not entirely sure reality even matters.
I do agree with you entirely that Obama WILL fail. I’m just not sure about how people who no longer think for themselves will deal with it given the propaganda.
Cheney: We have to be resovled in our efforts to protect our national defense and stop terrorism.
KOB: You're such a bully (while sticking his tongue out).
I agree with everything you wrote, but you lead with your jaw when you embellish like this. As far as the other poster's comment where Fox had it live, how is that possible? "OK, now let's go out to our correspondent in NY, Who's awaiting the arrival of the first of two jets scheduled to crash into the World trade center towers this morning."
We call him Keith Olberdork.
Reagen won in a landslide against a failed Carter admin. The MSM of that era was largely the same political makeup that it is today, that is, Democrat cheerleaders and GOP bashers. They couldn't save Jimmy and their lies won't be able to convince enough of the electorate to save Obummers worthless ass either.
What we need to do is field a real conservative candidate this time, not a RINO pretender like McCain.
I think history repeats itself here.
Excuse me, Minn.
I most certainly did NOT “embellish.”
I described my memories of the 9/11 attack. I did not lie about what I remembered. There was absolutely no attempt to deceive.
Hillary Clinton embellished when she said that she had ran from sniper fire in Bosnia.
I merely had an imperfect memory. And - AGAIN - my article was not about “the official record of the 9/11 attack.” It was about the demagoguery that has followed since by the left.
I provide numerous links to document what needs to be documented. When it came to my own memory of my own experience watching 9/11 unfold on television, I merely offered what I remembered.
I watched the coverage for 2 or 3 hours that day. I saw pictures and video footage played over and over again during that period. If you cannot understand how I could have been a little confused about my memory of something that occurred 8 years ago, I bow to the perfection of your sensory apparatus.
Again: my article was NOT about the chronology of media coverage of 9/11.
