TV Looks to Low-Key 9/11 (ABC to examine war on terrorism)
Edited on Mon Aug-18-03 07:06 PM by knowledgeispower
Associated Press-

Two years removed from the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, broadcast networks will mark the anniversary with news stories but aren't planning to interrupt their regular schedules.

It's in marked contrast to last year, when the broadcasters devoted much of their day to the anniversary either with news specials or, in NBC's case, a commemorative concert.


...

ABC said on Monday that all of its regularly scheduled news programs that week will examine the question of whether or not Americans are safer than before Sept. 11, 2001.

The network will assess the level of damage done to Osama bin Laden's terrorist network, whether the money used to prevent and respond to terrorist attacks was well-spent and the balance between civil liberties and domestic security.



This sounds promising folks. If ABC takes an honest look at the war on terrorism, the results should be damaging to Bush Co. Especially if they mention how the 9/11 report implicates the Saudi's, yet we have gone after Afghanistan and Iraq. I am trying not to get my hopes up too much (it is the mainstream media after all), but ABC might do some damage.
