I've heard other media outlets criticizing CBS for showing the tribute last night, saying it was too violent and not something the public needed to see. I think exactly the OPPOSITE, it was something EVERYONE should see, this is real life my friends, this crap really happened...and by other media outlets suggesting we ignore the horror that happened that day is absolutely disgusting to me.
I think the biggest problem is that this country is that people are too whiny. People think they should have the say over what we see/hear/say and ignore free speech issues. If you didn't want to watch it (if it disturbed you), then you were more than welcome to watch other things on the variety of other stations available in this country, but DO NOT whine and cry and go on about how disturbing it is and that it shouldn't be shown.
Those of us who live in the "real world" understand that tragedies happen everyday, and if it's real, then it's real and those who don't like reality need to move to some island somewhere where there aren't TV's so they can be cut off from the real world.
Did anyone else hear about this and does it disgust you too how some people try to minimize the worst attack on American freedom in the history of this country???
