How the Media's 9/11 Anniversary Coverage Shifted from a Critical Look at al-Qaida to Attacking America

Whispered first, then shouted from the dust and wreckage of that September morning in 2001 came the words that have become a mantra: Never forget.

And in the two decades since the attacks of 9/11, there is much we never did forget: the deaths, the despair, the fire, the fear, the photographs of the missing. But this 20-year anniversary has revealed that there is, too, much we tragically, dangerously, lost track of along the way: our commitment to democracy; our dedication to the American ideal; our defense of the Enlightenment values of the West; and our devotion to their survival. And most of all, to remember the ideology of the Islamist terrorist perpetrators of the single largest terrorist attack on American soil.

"All of which translates into simply this: that even after over 50 Islamist terror attacks in Europe and America since 9/11; and even in the face of the Taliban's return to power in Afghanistan, a resurgent al-Qaida, and dozens of ISIS fighters about to be released from European prisons, we live with a global media that frequently appears more comfortable condemning counterterror policy and strategy than with criticizing the terrorists themselves."

I saw several of these 9/11 memorial programs.

They each and all looked the American and the New Yorker in the eye and said “you’re a racist”

I’m not surprised. The u.s. media is a wiser and more vile enemy to America than China, al Qaeda, the Taliban - anyone.

“I’m not surprised. The u.s. media is a wiser and more vile enemy to America than China, al Qaeda, the Taliban - anyone.”

Absolutely. They’re erasing history and fabricating the future. Making huge salaries for same. We’re looking at a “Fahrenheit 451” type scenario where all the media has to do is point a finger at someone and POOF that person’s life is gone.

Pray for justice, hard and heavy.

Austrians would not have had to hold off the righteously angry Muslims in 1529 and 1683 if only they had not supported Zionist colonialism!

Oh, wait…

The 9/11 20 year anniversary went exactly as I knew it would. The media talked about the deaths and the heroism. At no time did it bother to tell us that 19 fanatical muzzies deliberately crashed planes full of people into buildings full of people and that the ideology that inspired them is violent, intolerant and fanatical.

In the 20 years since, muzz has become a fully-certified victim group, entitled to all the privileges that accrue to victim groups.
