This morning as i tuned into the Fox network expecting to see the usual Greg Kelly and his team of associates give me the daily news on Good Day New York, but instead I got the live coverage of the 9/11 anniversary services. This coverage was unlike a lot of others stories that the team covers in the way that their opinions and views on the events we rent given in a narrative style. Instead they let the ceremony speak for itself. It is quite amazing about how seven years later there is still such emotion and authenticity that is put into the ceremony itself.
Not only was Fox five covering the story this way but also a lot of other stations were as well. With something like 9/11 that has this kind of magnitude towards everyone in America, the media doesn't have to put their own twist on the events, and even if they did the public would know. This kind of thing just has to be broad casted live without any influential narration that goes along with it.
I'm sure half, if not more, of the country was tuned in to some form of media today listening and or watching the services at ground zero. This lets the media companies show no reason to put their own spin on the story since they already have the viewers. It is a nice change of pace once in a while to watch something and form your own opinions on the subject matter.

I agree with you that the media should not put any spin on the 9/11 story. 9/11 is a time where our country should come together to unite as one. Just like we did seven years ago on that tragic day. As someone who was personally affected by the terrorist attacks I believe that we should continue to show the footage over and over again to get our country feeling the way it did on that very day. People forget about 9/11 anymore and that should not be.
This country should know from now until the end of the world what those cowards did to us and just maybe people will become so upset they will begin to feel as we did seven years ago.
I agree with what you are saying. I like how instead of trying to get viewers/ televison ratings for once; it was a time for remembrance. No one was trying to out due another ones opionion to get their( journalits and what not)for televison ratings as I said before. Its nice to see that all of this should soak in with out words, like a ceremony.
