Subject: Directly after the Five Wishes segment At about 21:25, the 9/11 reportage begins.



Tape starts with innocuous interview with Ray Romano and Peter Boyle promoting Everybody Loves Raymond going into syndication. There are commercials for Prevacid, Entmann's, Home Depot, etc. Bryant Gumble does an interview with an editor for Gourmet magazine, highlighting popular dishes by decade, where he appears to sip from a mojito and then a goblet of sangria. This is followed with the 5 Wishes segment, where five people get their dreams made true (high school girl gets new house, cancer kid sees Pearl Harbor exhibit, etc), which is followed directly after by the first coverage of the disaster. Gumble interviews first a waiter who saw the fireball atop the first building, then a doorman for the WTC Marriott who has seen debris falling and a man on fire, then BG talks to a lady living in a high-rise -- who witnesses the second attack live on-air as she speaks to him, very calmly -- and she is followed by another male witness on the other line. CBS replays the crash in slo-mo, and so on. - February 20, 2016Directly after the Five Wishes segment

Subject: The worst coverage of that tragic day Bryant Gumbel asking the eye witness on the phone what makes her say that the SECOND plane flying into the tower was obviously deliberate was absolutely ridiculous. Seriously Gumbel.. perhaps another plane hitting the other tower less than 20 minutes earlier is a bit of a clue?? REALLY... might be just a coincidence, huh?? ABC, NBC & CNN.. in that order.. were ALL on their game. Not CBS, at least not while those tragic events happened. While it's interesting to watch the coverage by all networks from that day, it's also obvious which news reporters were up to the task. - September 15, 2010The worst coverage of that tragic day

Subject: Whatever you do Early Show, 8:31 a.m .: " 'Whatever you do, do not open that door.' There's another line from Gene Wilder. (Laughs.) Peter Boyle with love and Ray Romano. Great show as well on Everybody Loves Raymond. Watched it flying out here on American Airlines. Let's show you what's going on around the country, kids, on this Tuesday, the night of the Latin Grammies. Sunny skies down through Texas....To the west of the country, no problem. To the east of the country, no problems except down in Florida, a little rain. Northeast we'll see a little rough seas along the New England coastline from that hurricane that's going away. Miles and miles of sunshine. Miles Davis. We're going to put Miles out there today. Nice as it can be across the Northeast. Rough seas still from the chop from that hurricane, but other than that it's kind of quiet around the country. We like quiet. Unless it's quiet. It's too quiet. That's a quick look at the national forecast. Here's an Early look at your weather." - July 9, 2010Whatever you do

Subject: Decent, but what? Overall, it was a decent broadcast of the day's events, but "Why do you say on purpose?" Um..what? WHAT! Are you fucking me? It's obvious! I could understand some confusion on the first tower, but there is simply no excuse for denial after the second plane hit. Absolutely none! - July 2, 2010Decent, but what?

Subject: Who took my last truthful comment down The ones who actually believe that U11 and U175 did not hit the towers when you had over 7 years to research and investigate, go out and buy "The Sun" or the "Inquirer" or similar and just stay home and read those fake fantasy stories. Those magazines are filled with bull just like what your type believe like "Giant beetle invades Michigan town and had baby lizards growing out of its stomach." Or baby kitten gives birth to a foriegn car on the east side of Kansas." Or wahatever the bull story is. Did you speak to the air traffic controllers? No you didn't. How about the family members who had REAL phone calls come down from REAL family that "EYE-WIYNESSED" Iranian or similar looking men with knives ect. ect. No, you didn't. You are all way behind. It's like you all have a learning disabilty big time. I know the rest of the true story. You don't. I advise you to look it up. OH, did you speak directly with coroner Wallace Miller?? No you didn't. All bodies Identified through DNA from U93 in Stoystown Pa where U93 crashed. Yes, Stoystown. Shanksville is 2 miles away. You didn't know that though did you?? I also know other eye-witnesses from that area and family members who cannot believe there are fake conspiranuts out there that actually believe there is a conspiracy about it. See, you brainless conspiraloons get your fake information from other fake conspiranut sites, and build your little fantasy world. Get a life and stop inputting fake information to innocent poeple for them to read and get sucked up with and worry about. I've cured thousands from getting sucked up with bull information and feel great when another sees the real truth. - January 10, 2009Who took my last truthful comment down

Subject: Izzy...you are delusional Izzysykopth, your ignorance of the facts is exceeded only by your self-righteousness. Anyone who seriously believes that the government and news media was in on some great conspiracy, and the news footage was all fake or doctored, is in serious need of professional help. They have no facts, just conjecture based on nothing. They merely recycle the same stale theories that were originated on the web on that fateful day, with embellishments made as time goes on.



Conspiracy theorists are by nature a superstitious and easily manipulated bunch (ironically, they always claim that they are one of the few who was not manipulated). But you, Izzy, may even be beyond the help of any anti-psychotic medicine.





As for CBS' coverage, Bryant Gumbel made a fool of himself that morning after the second plane hit. When someone on the phone commented that it was obviously a terrorist attack, Gumbel replied "Why do you say a terrorist attack?"



Unbelievable. - December 11, 2008Izzy...you are delusional

Subject: Willful Ignorance Anyone who thinks that these videos are real after reviewing them carefully needs an eye doctor. Some of us knew right away there was something fishy about this whole thing. In my case for example after 20 yrs as a Journeyman Ironworker I am not only aware bht INTUNED to this materials characteristics and behavior when subjected to heat so I knew as soon as the towers collapsed there was something besides an airplane involved. As did many demolition experts, engineers, pilots, firemen and scientists from all fields. Clinging to the notion that the media and the govt were not involved is pathetic, categorizes those that do as accessories after the fact and would be comical if not laced with such an exponetial amount of stupidity. Its not unproffesional for journalists to VERIFY facts, quite the opposite. If we had verified ALL the FACTS before going to war Bush and the neo-cons wouldnt be making war criminals out of every tax-payer. Bush's military records have been known for decades, maybe thats why Rather didnt need to wait for verification. I urge all who see the news clips to examine them carefully. They are FULL of anamolies that prove media involvement. They are not even good fakes. To say that ANY of the major media acted profesionaly is the most absurd notion anyone could possibly suggest in light of the video evidence and narrative provided on that tragic day. Warning to all fellow citizens of the US The most prolific killers since Hitler have infiltrated our government and are obsessed with destroying YOURS and MY freedoms. The evidence is abundant, overwhelming and irrefutable peace izzy - July 8, 2008Willful Ignorance

Subject: CBS News Coverage on September 11th - Zero Hour While I do believe that all news coverage on this day was pivotal with respect to how the United States (and indeed the world) reacted to the September 11th attacks, it was clear on 9/11 the degree of professionalism exhibited by ABC, NBC, CNN and the BBC was in an entirely different league from CBS. Bryant Gumbel and the CBS News organization was consistently running behind with respect to information by several minutes compared to the networks listed above. Dan Rather was repeatedly hesitating to report facts in the initial hours of 9/11 because he was repeatedly looking for "verification", a completely different philosophy than he took when attempting to report on George Bush's military records a few years later.



The idea that any type of "conspiracy" took place on this day with respect to government censorship or "creating" news on the day is a comical assertion at best - and criminal at worst. While individuals may have their right to practice free speech in this country, common sense should prevent individuals from offering unintelligible conspiracy theories. The idea that thousands of journalists would subject themselves to censorship and work together to manufacture news coverage would be a hilarious notion if it werent laced in such a high degree of stupidity.



Bad things happen in the world. These news networks did an outstanding job on a day when most of us could barely function - much less construct comprehensive analysis of the day's events. - January 6, 2008CBS News Coverage on September 11th - Zero Hour
