Did anyone see PrimeTime Live last night about the 9/11 babies?
ABC News

Posted on 08/30/2002 9:38:30 AM PDT by KyBushBabe

I watched PrimeTime last night on ABC where Diane Sawyer interviewed the various widows of men killed at the WTC who had babies since the attack. It was a well-done program; very touching and sad because these children are not going to grow up with their fathers.

Something struck me that was missing from the program...not ONE woman mentioned any anger they felt at the terrorists for what they did to their families. Again, this may have been conveyed by some of the women and edited out for PC purposes - we don't want to offend the terroists you know! This ran on one of the networks after all. Did anyone else notice this? I would be interested to find out if anyone else also made this observation.

I know I'm still angry about the attacks of 9/11. I've noticed a general reduction in anger at what was done to our country almost a year ago. I know over time this can happen because of human nature being what it is, but while it's good to mourn those who have been lost, a little righteous anger at the rotten S.O.B.'s that did this still seems appropriate to me.

This was just an observation I made watching PrimeTime last evening. I am new to FreeRepublic. I registered yesterday after being a lurker for quite awhile so be patient with me as I am new to posting on this site.

Didn't see it. Did they mention that Planned Parenthood offered to kill every one of those babies for free?

I only saw some of the show. When they showed a photo montage of the fathers, I started crying, saying (excuse my language)--and this was directed at the hijackers--"you bastards, you bastards...." because all these children will grow up never knowing their fathers.

If they didn't demonstrate anger or ABC didn't show their anger, I sure did for them.

No, but it wouldn't have surprised me if they did. I'm surprised that they didn't ask any of the women if they considered an abortion after their husbands were killed; the leftist media being what it is.

Overall, I was pleasently surprised at the program. While parts of it were sad, you were left with a hopeful feeling because the men who died will go through their children. Plus I enjoyed seeing those babies - they were all very cute!

not ONE woman mentioned any anger they felt at the terrorists for what they did to their families. Well, they have their baby, and lots of bucks, and their good looks. Truth to tell, some of them probably are happy that they can get a fresh start with so much going for them. Sure beats working for a living.

I have noticed the same thing in every interview I have EVER seen/read with a surviving attack victim. It's bizarre. I figured it had to be editing. On the other hand, I've seen plenty of peacenik victims who verbalized love and goodwill to the attackers. Totally weird, but of course that, too, is a product of lefty media producing.

ps: If you are going to be angry, why not direct some of that to the Government that soaks the people for every tax dollar and can't protect them.

I somehow missed the Planned Parenthood story...now that's really ghastly...did the TV special mention it?! Can't imagine they would, but that's the kind of thing people need to know...

I am sick of the Liberal media and their pathetic points-of-view.

I know these women must feel horrible, but that didn';t stop them from claiming their 15 minutes and smiling all the time.
