Lol it's hard to convey just how bad TV was after 9/11 for quite awhile. Everything was over the top sad. Also while on the topic I'm pretty sure if I recall correctly for the entire day of 9/11 every single network besides kids shows and maybe a few others like weather all were showing 9/11 coverage. You literally couldn't find a channel not rebroadcasting the news coverage besides those, it was wild.
All good. I knew what you meant, everything was so Hallmarky for quite awhile. It's not so different than now with covid and how they "honored" essential workers but like 2% of the population has died from it. Its all fake
