So I have been thinking with this week being the anniversary of 9/11 and all about the media and how it has changed over the years.  When 9/11 happened the world changed in so many ways there is not enough time to type it!  America wanted to know what was going on in DC, NYC and PA at all times.  We wanted to know the truth, the facts and who to blame.  As a country we were mad and we were passionate and proud for our country.  We did not care what when or how we wanted justice for the lives lost.  The media was behind this passion and drive for justice in fact i would even say they were only fuelling the fire.  No one knew in 2001 what lay ahead, no one could foresee that 7 years later we would still be searching and fighting for justice from that horrific day.  Things have changed, they have gotten better, then worse, then better but the objective hasn't changed we want to end terror.  One thing that has changed though is this media's perspective now instead being proud of us fighting for justice and for our protection they are critiquing what is going on in Iraq and Afghanistan.  The media that was fuelling the fire to start a war and win against terrorism is now one of its biggest critics.  This should be a lesson to us all to not always trust the media, perhaps we should not have rushed into a war, we should have taken a deep breath counted to ten, looked at the facts and made more educated decisions!!!
