9/11: Where Was George? - Alterman's latest

[Unknown Known]

This is in the latest edition of "Nation" magazine and a very important piece. Thanks to Eric Alterman (one of the brave ones) for bringing this back into the light.

September 11 is often said to be the defining moment in the Bush presidency, even of modern history. How strange, therefore, that Bush's behavior that morning--along with that of his Administration--is almost never examined in any detail. This is all the more incredible when one considers the fact that 9/11 is among the most exhaustively chronicled days in human history and Bush among its most heavily covered individuals. No less odd has been the media's willingness to let the many inconsistencies in White House stories pass unexamined. They seem content instead to let Showtime tell the story, Leni Riefenstahl-style.

2. Too bad this article was written after the Movie

but then again Gore Vidal had fun with Bush listening to a little girl talking about her lamb while the most important event since Pearl harbor was unfolding...and he did it a few months after 911

Having read it...does Alterman need more proof that Bush is a puppet?

He did write a whole book on the Media bias...funny he didn't cover 911 stuff in his otherwise good read...
