The memorials started and C-span is not showing these memorial ceremonies.
It would be appropriate to have One of the c-spans doing uninterupted coverage.
President Bush and first lady Laura Bush, center, takes part in a moment of silence, Saturday, Sept. 11, 2004, on the South Lawn of the White House. They are joined by Vice President Dick Cheney and his wife, Lynne Cheney, right, and other White House employees in remembrance of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
Damn them.

I swear CBS is doing everything it can to keep it from being an emotional moment. At least NBC is showing things live. Even the ceremony in Boston. But CBS is shooting blanks. Sumner Redstone the owner of CBS lives in Boston. Maybe he doesn't want to offend his commie friends.
