Is the Media Trying to Make You Forget 9/11?
 
 

When anniversaries of momentous events are upon us, it is common to find the media wall-to-wall with reminiscences and coverage.

But this is most certainly not the case as we arrive at the 20th anniversary of the single-most horrific act of terrorism ever perpetrated against the United States. While the media allow a few sober references to this milestone, in the wake of our disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, and the seemingly intentional abandonment of still uncounted citizens and friends, the preferred narrative of the elite is that we dispense with umbrage over how America was wronged in favor of a globalist narrative whereby we embrace our responsibility to right all the wrongs of the past.

Which is precisely what Chronicles Associate Editor Pedro Gonzalez discusses in his column in our 9/11 memorial issue, “Purposeful Forgetfulness.”
