CNN carried virtually all of the two-and-a-half hour ceremony at New York's ground zero with little voiceover and no commercials, as children read the names of the 2,792 people who died at the former World Trade Center two years ago.

B-- b-- b-- but! They're full of liberal traitors to this country! They have no regard for human life! Ann Coulter told us so! How can this be TRUE??!!

CNN refused to show any footage of the attacks two years ago. While it has shown the images as recently as in a documentary on Sunday, "we felt that certain images have been seared in our consciousness and on a day like this, we do not need them to be replayed to tell the story," Robinson said.

MSNBC showed street-level video of the aftermath of the attacks, but avoided replaying images of the planes hitting the World Trade Center or the towers collapsing, Effron said.

Kudos to CNN for doing the 2 and a half hour thing, but I also feel that not showing the attacks is a deliberate suppression of information for the purpose of manipulating American public opinion. It's easier to crap all over Bush if you don't have to deal with the images from 9/11.

I watched a special showing people jumping from the twin towers a couple of days ago. It suddenly struck me - I wonder what a poll of the people who lost friends and family in New York, Pennsylvania, and the Pentagon would show? Do they think that Bush is doing a good job?

Things that make you go hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
