But every politician has been on TV saying to get back to our lives, the fall TV schedule is underway, Letterman is making jokes about NY, etc. I hate to say it, but this just doesn't seem sincere to me. I can't believe they got Cronkite to say something. I've been wanting to hear from him since this started, but not on the Emmy awards. The black carpet is a perfect example of ''symbolism over substance''.
Life needs to move ahead and the media needs to allow it.
Also the lead-in music sounds like a news bulletin is coming on. In fact, although the TV special was very nice, I really felt like it was a funeral. The Willy Nelson thing was nice, but a more spirited ending was missing. I also expected the special to be more uplifting.
