Yesterday morning I very much wanted to watch the touching ceremony at Ground Zero where the parents and grandparents of victims were reading out the names of the people lost at the WTC on 9-11-01 but just after the families got into the B names Fox's anchor started yapping and you couldn't hear the names. So, I switched to CNN and was delighted to see that the names could still be heard. But then they cut away to some military lady singing the national anthem....grrrr so I switched to MSN and they cut away to show Rumsfeld speaking about the glories of our choice to go to war.
Shame on all the networks for not allowing the victims of that terrible day to be the focal point. Shame on Rumsfeld to use it as a moment to glorify a war that millions of Americans didn't support. Yesterday was supposed to be about all the innocent people who lost their lives. I wanted to hear each and every single name, to see the pictures of them put on the screen. I wanted to hear the bells over New York city marking the times of the two planes crashing into the towers and then the bells and silence marking when the towers fell.
I am so angry that the victims and their families were robbed of the dignity they deserve!
