What is wrong with MSNBC? A Whole Morning of replaying the 9/11 tragedy as it happened? Really? [View all]

It is no different than watching a horrible car accident, over and over again--just on a national basis.

1, 5, 10, 20 years? I can get that. But this is year 12. Just sensation for sensation sake, this doesn't make sense to stop the news.

I don't think anyone who was old enough to know what was going on at the time will EVER forget what happened. No one asks "why" anymore....

I will now get off my soapbox.

Flame away...
