The pathetic coverage of the media in regard to Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close

[noise]

Is it too soon? Too traumatic? Exploitative?

The media has no credibility on 9/11. The media, on behalf of their political buddies (and in turn their war profiteering pals), has exploited the shit out of 9/11. They have ensured that the public is thoroughly traumatized by way of unrelenting terrorism related propaganda. One thing the media has not done is actually honored the victims of the attacks by pressing government officials to explain their conduct. Instead they meekly go along with extreme government secrecy claims and resort to selling the public on total bullshit explanations like watchlisting failures.

What we have today is a state of affairs in which government officials and media people are not subject to having their credibility questioned. So we end with 60 Minutes quoting CIA talking points to refute well sourced allegations of an obstructed al Qaeda investigation or swarms of media outrage when an actor says something inappropriate about 9/11.
