At 9:03 a.m. when the second plane hit the tower, why weren't the Air Force put on high alert and fighter jets scrambled? The "airliner" hit the Pentagon at 9:38. They would have had ample time to intercept the other airliners. Are they that incompetent?
At least the intercepted the fourth plane.

Yep. There are several theories as to why it was shot down. One is that it left the Newark (NJ) airport almost an hour late, and letting it wreak further havoc on DC would have made it harder to blame it on "incompetence."
The fourth plane was neither intercepted nor shot down.
The passengers attacked the hijackers, and during the struggle the plane crashed.

I gotta agree with the OP. The media has been wearing their kiddie gloves around Obama. I mean ... look what he did to FOX - turned them into a National Enquirerish media outlet when they became critical of him.
Back on O.P.topic, MM is doing all it can to help Obama bury his mistake with B/C by taking it off the air and putting any bylines on page 8. MM is hoping to sweep the issue under the rug, just what an everyday slob would do.
It's all Obama's fault that Fox News write like the National Enquirer? Now that's a first.
That co-relation didn't even exist until Obama's commie media czar tried to censor Fox.
She was fired for it in case you don't recall. Don't be a sheeple.
Commie media czar? lol!!!
