Choices.
In commemoration of the events on September 11, 2001, on ABC the network has chosen to show a fictionalized version of the events leading to September 11, 2001, a narrative that was allowed to be previewed almost solely by advocates of the right-wing (and mainly Republican cheerleaders), approximately two months before the next election.
In commemoration of the events on September 11, 2001, on CBS the network has chosen to show a narrative based upon a compilation of interviews along with film shot by two documentary filmmakers who were following a rookie in the New York City Fire Department for almost a year before the terrorist attacks, including footage shot in the World Trade Center after the planes hit the buildings.
Who made each program?
What motivated the choices made regarding what to broadcast?
What did you choose to view?
Which do you think is better for our nation to view, to analyze, to consider, and to remember?
