I completely agree. I've watched exactly one show about 9/11 and that was the documentary that was by the two french filmmakers who were shooting a documentary about NYC firefighters on 9/11 and were in the wrong place at the wrong time. It was heartwrenching and all I will ever need to see about what happened that day for it to be forever etched into my memory.
These types of "news items" serve absolutely no necessary purpose and I really find the playing of them for the purpose of ratings to be more than offensive.
