A journalist who covered the 9/11 attacks condemns recent attempts by some on the radical left to distort or diminish the significance of the tragedy, emphasizing that their outrage stems not from personal heroism but from the historical weight of the events. The piece rejects efforts to reinterpret or downplay the attacks, framing the debate as an affront to collective memory rather than a partisan dispute. The author’s perspective as both a witness and a chronicler of the moment underscores the stakes of how such pivotal events are remembered. Readers interested in the intersection of history, media, and political discourse may find the argument compelling.
The radical left’s recent efforts to twist and downgrade 9/11 disgust me to the core — and it’s not because I was some type of hero in that tragedy: I was just a journalist then as I am now.
