Well the press are so keen on rememberance and paying your respects and all that stuff. Then why do they keep making crappy programmes on it. Its called "september 11th" for goodness sake so we are not going to forget the date it happened on! And I don't really think to many of us will forget it in our lifetimes. So why make all the rubbish programmes on it, which tell us nothing new and are just cashing in on everyones interest in it. They claim they want to pay respect but in fact they are doing exactly the opposite by upsetting the relatives of the deceased. We know what happened, when it happened and the media circus and whole days TV schedule tommorow is quite frankly uneccessary and only really detracts from the rememberance.

That is true, so very true.

yes it is, but there is no need to quote the whole thing!
I have to agree, this is overkill. I was bored of hearing about it two weeks after it happened. It's not that I don't think there should be a rememberance ceremony the year after it happened, but they had about 20 remeberance ceremonies within the month it happened, and we never stop hearing about it since.
its not just being bored of it the americans have my total sympathy but the press is just overkilling it and trying to sound respectful when they are being so shallow.
I totally agree there is no need in making all these sh!tty shows I mean it is like the day JFK was shot. Every one remembers were they were that day and no one will forget it. I wont be watching them because I can think of better things to do than bring back horrible memories and watch them in slow motion. I think they should make one truly serious show on tv dedicated to rememberance one that isn't just made for ratings and lets face it that's all they're for.
yeah i get your point, do they think we have the memories of goldfish or something...i just don't see the point of bringing back memories that people just want to put behind them in the past
I doubt there has been a day since when any paper hasn't mentioned it and repeated the same things again and again
