Notice the stupid twit anchorwoman that announces that there are unconfirmed reports of a second plane hitting the WTC about five minutes after they show the footage of the second plane crash. And even then she can't put 2 and 2 together. She never even thinks "You know, this just might be deliberate" even after the second plane. Finally the light bulb goes off in her co-anchors head about two minutes later. Even then she doesn't get it. Even after they show Bush announcing that these were terrorist attacks she continues to describe them as "apparent" terrorist attacks. Then when they show the Pentagon getting hit she says "it now looks like the focus of these attacks, if that's what they were, has switched to Washington. Can you possibly be any more clueless?


I was watching MSNBC Sunday. They ran the first couple of hours of their coverage from that day. For some reason I think it was Couric who, when the second plane hit, wondered aloud if there was an air traffic control problem. It's easy to think that it's just another bit of proof that she's a perky mental lightweight, but people say goofy things uner pressure. She's still a moron tho.
