Do you agree with dbu that "the media" should run continuous footage of 9/11
all day long?

If you agree, what purpose would it serve, other than to excite boys like
dbu, who love watching stuff blow up?

That doesn't answer the question, but dbu already did. This was the question
which your little presentation did not answer:

What sorts of stuff would you like to see in the mainstream press two days
before 9/11? Pretend you're an editor and you're brainstorming
ideas with your reporters.

history channel?
