Did anyone see mention of the anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing today???

[TNNurse]

I looked online and watched the local Knoxville and NBC national news...nothing.

I thought of it when I woke up this morning.

1. If it's not a "x0th" or "x5th" anivesary year

then it pretty much gets buried in other news. 2020 will be the 25th anniversary (yikes).

[Ilsa]

2. Joe Scarborough tweeted about it as a response to

a tweet about David Koresh and Waco anniversary.

3. I heard a piece about it on NPR.

[FreeState]

4. Waco was 25 years ago today...

thats one of the reasons they chose the date...

6. Wow and tomorrow is the Columbine anniversary

with school walkouts and other events planned.

10. Columbine was an enormous cultural event. Easily the biggest

story of 1999.

Today it wouldn't even stay in the news for a week. How times change.

12. That is troubling on many levels n/t

[Beartracks]

8. Mentioned on the news/traffic station this morning. However...

... this was in Oklahoma.

They mentioned the ceremony and that they were going to do a 168-second moment of silence.

9. Thank you for mentioning the OKC Federal Building.

Brought back memory of being on a family trip and went by the site 6 weeks after. Similar to the Pentagon in 2001.

My respect to the survivors and to the surviving family members.

13. I'll never forget it.

Going to an Econ test. A group of us left the student commons and on a wall mounted TV I saw the picture. I'm in total tunnel vision at this point. I thought it was just the glass blown out.

That night I turned on the news and saw the depth of the explosion. I was in shock.

The thing that gets me is McVeigh. Our lives were a parallel. Similar backgrounds and basically the same job in the Army - gunner on a Bradley Fighting vehicle. He was Infantry - I was Cav. He took a horrible turn in his life.

14. The right wing doesn't want to talk about domestic rightie terrorists. Tom Hartman said today

that more folks are killed by domestic terrorism than by foreign terrorism.

15. local news in detroit had it.

[TNNurse]

16. I think we can all agree that the answer should have been "Yes, they did a meaningful job

of covering it, because we should never forget".

Instead they were covering scandals that should not have been as important, but unfortunately they are an influence.
