No, Bloomberg Was NOT Mayor of NY City on 9/11/2001

by

That honor fell to Rudy Giuliani. CNN and MSNBC Air Bloomberg Ad with 9/11 Lie, Don’t Bother Calling It Fake News.

During his term as mayor, however, Bloomberg didn’t follow his predecessor’s strong lead and dashed hope for justice for those involved in 9/11:

There once was a chance to bring 5 accused 9/11 conspirators to justice. It would have brought a closure, if only emotionally, to a war without any. And it would have forced a reckoning on torture.

It never happened. Largely because of Mike Bloomberg. https://t.co/qQLvF3xwID

CNN, MSNBC, and the rest of the Democratic-controlled corporate media is perfectly fine spreading lies for Bloomberg, because they like him and the don’t like Sanders. Objective? Truth? Don’t clutter the issue with facts! (Hat tip to MaddMedic.)

New York Times and Its “Airplanes took aim” Insanity

by

Facepalm X 2Media bias? What media bias? New York Times deletes Sept. 11 ‘planes took aim’ tweet.

The tweet in question…

18 years have passed since airplanes took aim and brought down the World Trade Center. Today, families will once again gather and grieve at the site where more than 2000 people died.

Because actually admitting who did what on 9/11 would be against all the rules of Political Correctness. Or something.

The tweet was deleted. The story was edited. Because reasons.

Times spokesperson Danielle Rhoades-Ha told iMediaEthics by e-mail, “We have no comment beyond the follow up tweet and acknowledgement,” and pointed to its tweets.

And yes, I realize this is yesterday’s news, but I just love having a record of the NY Slimes and their continuing efforts to rewrite any bit of history that they don’t like.

Try to Remember – A September 11th Musical Interlude

by

The Fantasticks was a wildly successful off-Broadway musical. It ran for 42 years. It was forced to interrupt performances due to the September 11th attacks, and when they tried to reopen, in 2002, they couldn’t get past this number. Though in recent years, I think we’ve forgotten about September 11th.

Try to remember the kind of September
When life was slow and oh, so mellow.
Try to remember the kind of September
When grass was green and grain was yellow.
Try to remember the kind of September
When you were a tender and callow fellow.
Try to remember, and if you remember,
Then follow.

This is “Try to Remember” performed by Josh Groban. It was originally written for the musical, The Fantasticks, which opened in 1960.

So remember the heroes, probably none of whom felt especially heroic in the moment. Remember the people who do what needs doing. And don’t kid yourself that it won’t happen again.
