September 11th is coming up as, I'm sure you have noticed. Week from tomorrow if I'm not mistaken. So how do we celebrate this day? MSNBC Bloggist Glenn Reynolds has some suggestion for the media.
"At any rate, the coverage so far does seem to be in the “tragedy” mold, rather than the “war” mold, based on what I’ve seen. And that suggests to me that a lot of media folks are still in denial. And that means that they’re not doing their job, which is to present the world as it is, rather than how they would like it to be. Would Pearl Harbor have been played as a “tragedy” in December of 1943?"
Good question. We need to get the American people all worked up again so that they can continue the war on terror, because . . . well, so we can stay in Iraq where none of the hijackers were from.
In good news, by the way, President Bush is going to the United Nations so that's good to hear.
