But wouldn't you agree that the idea to get together people and allow them to engage in open information exchange, discussion and debate actively is valuable?
Yes, I do agree. I also think the project has been well executed, no doubt about it, and all praises are due. What I am unfortunately stuck on is the 9-11 angle itself. There are many possible angles, but not all would have "sold" as well for a U.S. audience.
Oh, and by the way, in my opinion media tend to put a spin on news in a way that they believe will sell the information best. For every quote quoted there's probably one that was omitted. And the US media are particularly good at spinning.
I am sure that you are right on this. Thanks for your replies. All the best, Maximilian C. Forte
