9/11 20th anniversary poll

I did join in for an hour or so on the day (I think I was the anonymous giraffe on the Kosmi chat). Thanks for putting this together. I wouldn’t say I enjoyed it, but I appreciated it.

Thank you :slight_smile: And may we never forget that day (and I’m not saying that in an obligatory way, of course).

Maybe we can make this an yearly thing. Next year we can watch the ABC stream or something.

21st anniversary stream alert!

I’m planning to do another stream the news coverage of the attacks on Kosmi for the purposes of remembering that fateful day. Make sure to vote before Sept. 11:

Which news network shall I go with for the 21st anniversary stream on Kosmi?

  • American Broadcasting Co. (ABC)
  • Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS)
  • Cable News Network (CNN)
  • Fox News Channel (FOX)
  • National Broadcasting Co. (NBC)
  • Other news network (please specify)

The CBC is not in this poll since I’ve streamed CBC’s coverage last year. The BBC’s out because I’m still unable to find enough videos to make for my intended 24-hour stream.

It’s actually going to be the 21st anniversary. And I’d go with NBC

As I have noted in the poll itself :slight_smile:

Last year, for the 20th, I streamed CBC’s coverage of the event.

well… I was hoping to see this from uh… something that is not from the American Point. Different contexts are good.

Plus… I don’t get why you would inflict the same pain on you over and over again. Say… If I had a grandfather…in a fatal car crash and I had footage of it, I would not be watching it over and over again. So… Why do you do the 9/11 anniversary every year and watch the planes crashing into the twin towers over and over again?

I did last year for the 20th anniversary with the Canadian perspective on 9/11.

It’s an anniversary livestream of how the news covered it at the time. We could analyze their coverage, what they got right and wrong and how simple mistakes here and there can warp narratives. We could also discuss our individual experiences of that day.

I only did it once last year. Besides, horrific an event this may be, it’s also one of the most interesting, especially regarding research and the news coverage.

Then… can I vote for all of them then? So… I could see how various news channels twisted it and what news anchors got swept in emotions and which remained uh… unfazed.

One network at a time, Ritvik. :slight_smile: Just one for now

Make sure to check out the pre-attack broadcasts as well for your choice:
