During the past few weeks, like many, I’ve read countless stories about what the 9/11 decade meant. I’ve also been revisiting the post-9/11 experience through YouTube: the first episode of SNL afterward, the Today Show’s coverage, and other TV clips I may have forgotten in 10 years’ time.
The one sentiment that stuck with me, though, did not come from Frank Rich, or Rudy Giuliani. It was from Jon Stewart.
“I’m sorry to do this to you. It’s another entertainment show beginning with an overwrought speech of a shaken host. Television is nothing if not redundant.”
