NBC and the 'Today' show have come under fire from for their decision to air an interview with 'Keeping up With the Kardashians' matriarch Kris Jenner about her breast implants instead of this morning's moment of silence at 8.46.a.m. held in memory of the victims of 9/11.
As ABC's 'Good Morning America' and 'CBS This Morning' carried the minutes silence from the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, viewers of NBC across the country had to rely upon their local affiliate to interrupt 'Today' to witness the poignant ceremonies.
While most friends and family of the victims of 9/11 were attending events at Ground Zero, Washington D.C. and Pennsylvania, they expressed their shock afterwards that the network had chosen to be the only national news program not to broadcast the minutes silence.
