BURLINGTON, Vt. -
While much of the nation remembered the anniversary of 9-11 and those who lost their lives during the attacks; others felt there was a lack of attention around the day, so many say, rocked our country to its core.
It is a day the nation vowed to never forget, "For most of us it was really the most disturbing day of our lives," said Saint Michael's College Professor, David Mindich.
Yet on the 11th anniversary of the September 11th attacks, one of the nation's top newspapers, The New York Times, made no mention of it, on its front page. Also, a popular national morning show opted to play this, an interview with Kardashian mom, Kris Jenner, rather than observing a moment of silence when the first plane struck the world trade tower.
"We can hope for a news environment in which Kardashians' don't trump 9-11," said Mindich.
Mindich says, it's not uncommon for events to become less immediate as time goes on, "We see this rhythm in the history of the United States where events were commemorated in a big way for the first ten years and then it may be every five years after that."
Mindich notes that in the future, the 9-11 anniversary will become more about making sense of issues such as the payoff between security and civil liberties, "These are issues that will be important moving forward as we have a little bit more of a distance, we'll be able to think about those things in a more rational detached way."
But no matter how the national media will cover the day in years to come, those who choose to remember, will never forget.
