NEW YORK (AP) — Many of the media outlets that explore the country’s differences, pausing Saturday to mark the 20th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, recalled almost wistfully the sense of common purpose that united Americans in the aftermath of that day. Television news networks offered wall-to-wall coverage of remembrances in New York, Washington and Shanksville, Pennsylvania, that were attended by four presidents. Perino was one of two ex-press aides to former President George W. Bush to anchor news coverage Saturday; MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace was the other. Bush and Vice President Kamala Harris both called for that long-dissipated sprit of unity to return. Wallace and her co-anchor, Brian Williams, twice talked about former President Donald Trump’s absence from Sept. 11 remembrances Saturday — both times without saying his name.
