The other 9/11 hijackers: the media

As devastating as the terrorist attacks were on 9/11, we should not forget or forgive the other hijackers of American life on that day and the days and weeks and months and years that followed: the media with their shameless exploitation of 9/11 for commercial advantage.

The media could have been doing a much better job of explaining the agenda of the Neoconservatives and the rest of the Pro-Israel Lobby and how the emotions of 9/11 were quite literally hijacked and shaped to support the so-called "War on Terror" that has had little to do with the actual events of 9/11 or future actions by al Qaeda.

Instead, the media acted as shameless cheerleaders for the so-called "War on Terror".

Sure, the media occasionally gets up in arms about controversial tactics, but never is the overall "war" agenda deeply probed.
