Television has been most affected. CNN continues to broadcast very little else but stories related to the attacks. Season premiers have been delayed and some movies scheduled for TV have been pulled.
Talk shows seem to focus on one topic only.
Even the late night shows that usually feature humorous banter are sometimes weighted down with this more serious topic. The attacks are influencing a lot of decisions on a personal level. While some people are looking for good vacation bargains to take advantage of the struggling airlines, others are still too scared to get on a plane. Coffee shop talk tends to find its way to the attacks at almost every table. People are recounting the most recent news they ve heard, images they ve seen and rumours they ve discussed.
