I can't speak for any one else, but 9/11 for me was sad for the people, but what outraged me wasn't the deaths. It was the attack. To me, they came into my house and blew it up. If you killed my 24th cousin, on my father's side, I'd be upset about it, but if you did it in my house, I'd have the "knee jerk" reaction. The press may play the deaths for emotional ratings, they are in the business of reporting news, and it's part of that job to sell papers. They will sensationalize to sell those papers, or play on any other emotion they can. It's what they do. People always look to them to be fair and balanced, but that won't sell papers. MSM doesn't even care about facts, ask Dan Rather, wasn't it? "I know these are forgeries, but I'm going to use them to bash the President anyway".
