Last nite on Fox they had a quickie special salute to those who dies during 2001. Was it just me or did they seem to go thru Barbara Olson might fast while showing multiple pics of most everybody else. The segment ended with George Harrison's pic up there - which was cool cause I always dug the Beatles. But based on the selection of the last pic, my guess is even Fox has its share of leftist editors. Maybe I'm just paranoid but boy did they whiz by Olson's name and pic.

I think we just have to accept that in the grand mess that was 9/11, Barbara Olson is a mere footnote. And it doesn't have anything to do with her politics. One could easily make the argument that they should focus on her even less, since there were dozens of other people on that plane too who got no recognition at all.

I would imagine that the absence of unique tape was the cause of that. Political commentators are on TV to talk. Multiple shots of pundit footage may have seemed a bit much, and come off looking silly. In this case, I feel that less was more. Perhaps the editors thought so as well?

I thought it was just me, but I agree that BKO is given less time than the others. At least they put her in there. I never watch network news anymore so I have no clue what the others are doing.

Of course Fox has a lot of liberals. The only reason that some call it a CONSERVATIVE station is that it has ANY conservative views at all.The other networks are totally lib.
