This is outstanding. Thank you. Since I couldn't view any of this live, I've wanted to know how each network carried the events.

If you start at 9 a.m., the second plane hits within the first four minutes and it is interesting to note that, from CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX and BBC (will have to wait until later for the rest), only FOX described this immediately as an act of terrorists, not just by the anchorman but by the on-scene reporter. Amazingly, none of the others, save ABC, is even willing to suggest that the attacks were deliberate. Trailing the back, Bryant Gumbel was busy explaining how it looked like only one tower was hit but, in fairness, he was probably in a studio looking at monitors and likely had people yelling in his ear.

I'll be reviewing more of this. Too bad it's in either REALplayer or Quicktime, which both have very poor picture quality for my tastes.

Everyone should take a look at this site - there are so many things that can and should be noted. One of the most obvious to me was Peter Jenning's comment (before the towers fell) about perhaps this is a response to the "anger and yes frustration" that people are feeling (unspoken with America). I hit the ceiling when I heard that - kneejerk liberalism "it's our fault". Nobody seems to have noticed that one, he got a pass on that one.
