9/11

CNN's Brian Stelter was slammed for tweeting out a piece from the Associated Press media reporter David Bauder claiming network TV anchors were "the closest thing that America had to national leaders on 9/11" with our "political leaders in bunkers or otherwise out of sight."

New York Times reporter Serge Schmemann wrote the lead story after that dark day when Islamic terrorists attacked the World Trade Center and The Pentagon, killing 3,000 Americans. Today, 20 years later, Schmemann recalled how an English teacher assigned her class to use his article as a source to compose “found poetry.” But Schmemann used the poems as a lens from which he could…

On Friday's edition of The 11th Hour, MSNBC's resident historian Michael Beschloss declared that we should remember the heroes of 9/11 and honor their memory by fighting back against GOP efforts to suppress the vote and possible attempts to steal congressional seats.

In the days after 9/11, one of the harshest critics of President Bush was, predictably radical mockumentary maker Michael Moore. Now, on the day before the 20th anniversary of 9/11, Moore gave an interview to The Hill and bizarrely praised Joe Biden's graceful exit from Afghanistan. Has he been in a cave?

On the 20th anniversary of September 11th, 2001, it’s perhaps a good reminder that ABC hired, parted company with, and then rehired Rosie O’Donnell as a co-host of The View. The radical O’Donnell spewed 9/11 conspiracy theories and also trashed “radical Christianity” as more dangerous than radical Islam. ABC liked what they saw so much that they hired her twice, the first stint from…

On Friday, several journalists across multiple media outlets emotionally remembered where they were on 9/11, connections they had to the victims, and how they managed to cover the horrific attack on America 20 years ago.

On the night before the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, the PBS NewsHour pundit team agreed on the proposition that Trump's backers are a bigger terrorist threat than ISIS. Jonathan Capehart proclaimed "I think MAGA and the domestic terror threat is much more worrisome than any foreign threat we could face," and David Brooks nodded in assent. 

Editor’s note: Three days after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, Media Research Center founder and President Brent Bozell wrote about the horror of the day, the unity of everyday Americans, and the journalists who had to calmly report on the unfolding terror attack, often wondering about their own safety. Here is his September 14, 2001 column: 

Respected economist turned partisan Democratic hack Paul Krugman marked the 20^th anniversary of the 9-11 terrorist attacks in his own inimitable fashion in his column Friday by playing his usual despicable partisan games: “Foreign Terrorists Have Never Been Our Biggest Threat.” Guess who? The GOP, of course: "America was viciously attacked 20 years ago. But even then, the call that…

On Friday’s episode of The Psaki Show, Fox’s Peter Doocy capped off a busy week with newsy questions about President Biden’s Thursday call with Chinese President Xi Jinping and why is it that millions of Americans are being subjected to President Biden’s rash of Covid vaccine mandates but not illegal immigrants.

Appearing on MSNBC’s Morning Joe on Friday, Washington Post book critic Carlos Lozada chose to remember September 11th by scolding America for succumbing to “fervor and blood lust” while fighting the war on terror in the two decades since the attack. His way of marking that tragic day was to accuse the nation of racism and following its “lowest impulses.”

September 11, 2001 is the single worst day in U.S. history -- other than the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor perhaps. That day saw 2996 innocent Americans killed on U.S. soil by a foreign enemy. Serious people know and respect this. But many in corporate media aren't serious people. They cheapen it with ridiculous comparisons meant to smear people and political movements they don’t like, i.e.…

While marking 20 years since the September 11th attacks, on Wednesday, MSNBC decided it was a good time to remind viewers how racist America has supposedly been toward Muslim citizens since that horrific day. In two separate segments, the left-wing cable channel claimed “intense Islamophobia and fear” has plagued the nation for the past two decades, after the heinous act of terrorism “…

Twenty years after the devastating terror attacks of September 11, let’s not forget how left-wingers in the news media and Hollywood have reacted by blaming America, trashing the War on Terror, and pushing insane conspiracy theories that the United States itself had staged the attacks or was somehow protecting Osama bin Laden.
