Have you forgotten? Pt. II

Interestingly enough, after I posted my first Sept. 11th post, I read an email from my friend Holly who's observation resoundingly echoes the sentiment in Worley's lyrics (here).
This is really fascinating, particularly on a day like today. Interestingly, the only news station carrying anything about 9-11 is FOX. I am disappointed at the major networks lack of coverage on this date. The topics on CBS, ABC, and NBC were dog cancer, cooking show celebrating Spanish heritage, and Barbara Walters upcoming interview of LaToya Jackson since Michael’s death. There are times when it is disappointing to me that we, the passive public, have let the media so dictate what we are to be thinking. This is a day we should all remember and pray for those people who lost a loved one. I am sending an email to all major news stations to let them know I find their lack of coverage appalling – what next, ignoring Pearl Harbor? We can make a difference if we let them know our stance.
