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.
For the first 3 days after 9/11 people were asking “why did they do this?” And Noam Chomsky even got on TV trying to explain. By the end of day 3 you never saw him on TV again, and the patriotic jingoism took over full steam. I think maybe once Bush made a speech at the twin towers rubble pile saying a bunch of patriotic violent vengeful bullshit.
I guess the CIA got nervous that too many people would find out they funded the muhajadeen in the 1980s lol.

A local artist put that moment onto canvas, and that work hung in our high school office for a few months.
remind me, was it the same day or the next morning when they made an exception to the no-fly restrictions to get all the Saudi princes out of the country
do you have a link to the Chomsky interview?
No sorry i just remember it
