19 years after 9-11-2001, the media culture has changed for the worst. Here’s how they’d report it if it happened today:

”Firey but mostly peaceful plane crash” -CNN

”We got breaking news that ‘some people did something’” - Huff Po

“Orange man didn’t shut down air traffic, thousands die” - NPR

“New York buildings stood in the way of peaceful Muslim pilots” -CBS

“Right wing extremists allegedly caused 4 planes to veer off course after Trump’s belittling comments on Islam” - New York Times

“Nobody on those planes were wearing masks. Cause of death: COVID-19” - NBC

“White supremacists in MAGA hats attack WTC and pentagon” -Salon

”Trump and Putin responsible” -Slate

“Peaceful Islamic refugees cleared area for new Manhattan mosque” -BBC

I'm not going to pile on with the headline titles but since this will probably be the only 9/11 thread I'll just mention this here... On the radio today, I heard a clip from the airline employee who boarded the terrorists on one of the flights. He said his coworkers wouldn't talk to him for days after and he was having delusions for a lot longer after that, hearing people talk about loved ones they lost on the flight and he would hear "You killed my husband" and stuff like that. I don't think he opened up about it until years after. Apparently the terrorists arrived late to the boarding.

The guy sounded haunted though.

It would be entirely different, since buildings don't implode when planes fly into them.

Otherwise whichever headline they want. America Under Attack! Santa claims responsibility. Trump says invasion of North Pole imminent.

Nah, but there's no denying that was all he had to say. The only thing that can make him look good is hyperbole that makes him look even worse.
