Lead report from The Guardian
What happened
News outlets across the political spectrum marked the twenty-fifth anniversary of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks that killed 2,977 people. Reports reflected on the historic loss of life, the resulting War on Terror, and the long-term impact on veterans, domestic politics, and society. Outlets also featured personal stories from readers and commentators discussing the fallout from the tragedy.
All reports agree that the September 11 attacks were a defining historical event that resulted in 2,977 deaths and profoundly altered American society and foreign policy over the subsequent quarter-century.
Left-leaning outlets like Truthout and Rolling Stone focused on analyzing the geopolitical consequences and questioning the necessity of the War on Terror, while The Guardian shared personal remembrances from readers. Right-leaning outlets emphasized different angles, such as The Federalist criticizing other media coverage of Muslim victimization, Fox News highlighting the struggles of veterans who fought in the subsequent wars, and The Bulwark discussing political controversies surrounding memorial attendees.
