9/11 Revisited: Live Mainstream Media Coverage Conflicted with Official Story As the anniversary is shortly upon us, we decided to revisit footage captured from live local media broadcasts on the morning of September 11, 2001. TV news stations always have slogans like “news you can count on,” but when a major traumatic event happens, what percentage of the live mainstream media reports that you are watching are even really happening? On September 11, the nation watched in horror live as the second plane slammed into the World Trade Center, then later both towers collapsed into their own footprints live; essentially, the nation’s viewing audience watched thousands of people die on live TV. As audiences are captivated by the nightmarish scenes of death and destruction replayed over and over and over again on 24/7 news channels, are they too traumatized in that instant to question anything they are being told with a critical eye? Are viewers simply terrified into readily believing everything that they see on TV?
