9/11

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.

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough uses the great work of the American military, invokes the spirit of 9/11, and the generosity of Americans welcoming Afghan refugees, to deflect criticism from President Biden over his Afghanistan fiasco. Scarborough says he is "really proud" of America, and offers not a word of blame for Biden.

After the last U.S. troops were pulled from Afghanistan, America-hating documentarian Michael Moore got a hero’s welcome Tuesday on MSNBC’s The Beat with Ari Melber. Moore, in turn, treated President Joe Biden like a hero, saying he is “so proud” of him and “we’re all blessed” to have him as our president.

With a torrent of news to discuss about the disastrous U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, weekday evening/Sunday morning analyst Nick “Night Train” Fondacaro and I had plenty to talk about on Wednesday’s episode of the NewsBusters podcast. We first dove into litany of liberal journalists that have provided admirable and stinging coverage holding the Biden administration to account on…

NBC didn’t pull any punches Monday when it came to slamming the Biden administration following the announcement that the final U.S. plane had left Afghanistan, officially ending the war. Over the course of Special Report and NBC Nightly News, foreign correspondent Richard Engel and fellow NBC liberals gave a remarkable amount of historical context, criticism of the Biden…

Spike Lee, famous filmmaker…and 9-11 Truther? Pop culture reporter Reggie Ugwu delivered a mostly fawning interview promoting Lee’s Home Box Office docuseries on the pandemic and the 20^th anniversary of the 9-11 terror attacks, New York Epicenters 9/11-2021½. Buried at the end were the filmmaker’s disturbing, conspiratorial views of the World Trade Center terror…

On Saturday's installment of Velshi, guest host Mehdi Hasan claimed that the 9/11 terrorist attacks produced a xenophobic War on Terror that is responsible for the political raise of Donald Trump. In order to make this inflammatory stretch, Hasan repeated several far-left claims that simply aren't true.

The Hill seems willing to publish almost anything if it stinks of the eco-nuttiness of the hard left, even if it involves comparing the hyped-up threats of climate change to the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
