i know i'm late but...

i'm going to talk about september 11th for a second.

i'm watching an interesting documentary on CBC Newsworld on the media coverage of September 11th called "as the towers fell". Acutally, I've seen this one before, it was on last year.

Anyway, it's an interesting look at the media (specifically television) coverage. They're talking about how they got bad information but everyone was so paniced it went on the air anyway.

anyway, one of the things they were talking about was how they were told that Bush was speaking live, they were given the time that he was going to be speaking life and hooked up to the feed. anyway, it was pre-recorded and there was something wrong with the sound, they had to "re-rack" (rewind and start it again), it was pretty embarassing, since it was so obviously not live.

anyway, it's an interesting thing, if you have a chance you may want to watch it.

AS THE TOWERS FELL: September 11th was the 3rd anniversary since the terrorist attack on the United States. The death and destruction, pain, sorrow and fear of that horrible day is well documented. But was it documented well? Moments after the first plane hit the world trade center, journalists in this country and around the world went to work trying to do just that. Trying to explain what had happened and why. Trying to separate fact from rumour. Here's what they had to say.
